Long time listener first time poster
I have a link that I need to put into the if statement. Here is my hyperlink
<a href="notify.as pid=<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "theid") %>">Test</a>
This works perfect if its on the page by itself and shows as just a regular hyperlink and goes to the notify page.
However when I go to insert it as a value of my if statement I get "Comma, ')', or a valid expression continuation expected."
This is my complete statement
<%# iif(DataBinder. Eval(Container. DataItem,"stock message")<>"Out of Stock","In Stock","<a href="notify.as p?id=<%# DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "theid") %>">Test</a>")%>
So basically this just lets them know if its in stock. If so it just says "In Stock". If it is out of stock I need to refer them to the notify page passing the itemid variable. Then they sign up for an alert when it becomes avaialable. I know Im missing something in my syntax...I just cannot figure this baby out!
any help would be appreciated.

It looks like you are nesting <% calls, you might need to restructure it to not do that? -
<%# iif(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"stockmessage")<>"Out of Stock","In Stock","<a href="notify.asp?id=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "theid") %>">Test</a>")%>
-
The <%# puts you into "code" mode and not in "html" mode so maybe try something like this: -
<%# iif(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"stockmessage")<>"Out of Stock","In Stock","<a href="notify.asp?id="+DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "theid").ToString()+">Test</a>")%>
-
I looked at the mentioned link and id did not seem to help me out.
Here is the code I have so Far and I get a "Microsoft.Visu alBasic Exception: Conversion from string " error.
<%# IIF(DataBinder. Eval(Container. DataItem,"stock message")<>"Out of Stock","In Stock","<a href=notify.asp ?item='"+ Container.DataI tem("theid")+"' >Out of Stock</a>")%>
Any help would be appreciated
Plater I tried your code and getting the error message "BC32017: Comma, ')', or a valid expression continuation expected."
I knows its gotta be somewhere in the syntax. Thats whats killing me!
I appreciate your help with this guys.
I got it!
<%# iif(DataBinder. Eval(Container. DataItem,"stock message")<>"Out of Stock","In Stock","<a href=notify.asp ?id="+DataBinde r.Eval(Containe r.DataItem, "theid").ToStri ng()+">Test</a>")%>
Had to remove the first set of quotes in front of notify!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for this.
take care and Ill be back to help out anyone I can.

Ooops, I forgot to escape the ", it's a good idea to enclose your attribue's values (such as href) in quotes, I think it's part of the standards somewhere. -
<%# iif(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"stockmessage")<>"Out of Stock","In Stock","<a href=\"notify.asp?id="+DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "theid").ToString()+"\">Test</a>")%

Hello,
How can I change the Type of a field in a table from Memo to hyperlink? I
import a table from Oracle to Access 2003. After that, the field type of
some hyperlink-fields is "Memo".
How can I schwitch back to Hyperlink via VBA because its boring doing it
manually often (I import the table each week for doing updates).
When I do it manually the hyperlink works well.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All
VS2005 Gridview control with vb
I am populating a gridview of company staff.
One of the columns is a hyperlink to a SMS texting facility I have so
secrataries can text the managers etc.
i.e Secratary loads the page on the intranet, finds the manager they want to
contact, clicks on the "SMS" hyperlink and is taken to the SMS page to fill
out the message and send it to the manager.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
