Change repeater string value?

Question

im trying to change the value inside my repeater: (via the itemdatabound event)

if year is empty - set value blabla

my repeater:

  <ItemTemplate> <tr > <td > <%#Eval("year") %> </td> 

my c # code:

  void RPT_Bordereaux_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) { if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["year"].ToString())) { (((DataRowView)e.Item.DataItem)["year"]) = "blabla"; // ??????? } } 

it changes, but is not displayed in the repeater (the old value is displayed).

one solution is to add server control or literal (server runat) to itemTemplate - and " findControl " on the server - and change its value.

another solution - jQuery - to find the last empty TD.

but - my question is:

is there any other server side solution ()?

Answer 1

you can try something like this:

Repeater in .aspx:

 <asp:Repeater ID="Repeater1" runat="server"> <ItemTemplate> <table> <tr> <td> <%# GetText(Container.DataItem) %></td> </tr> </table> </ItemTemplate> </asp:Repeater> 

.cs :

  protected static string GetText(object dataItem) { string year = Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(dataItem, "year")); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(year)) { return year; } else { return "blahblah"; } } 

IN GetText A method that you can check for a string that is empty or not than the return string.

HTML FILE

 <asp:Repeater ID="RPT_Bordereaux" runat="server"> <ItemTemplate> <table> <tr> <td> <%# GetValue(Container.DataItem) %></td> </tr> </table> </ItemTemplate> </asp:Repeater> 

.CS CODE

 protected void RPT_Bordereaux_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e) { if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem) { } } protected static string GetValue(object dataItem) { string year = Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(dataItem, "year")); if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(year)) { return Convert.ToString(year); } else { return "blahbla"; } } 

This should work

Answer 3

You can try to use an event created with the element that occurs before the control is bound, and not after the control is bound. Example in the first link:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.repeater.itemcreated.aspx

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.repeater_events.aspx

ItemDataBound Occurs after the item in the Repeater control is bound to data, but before it is displayed on the page.
