I have an asp:repeater control on a form. It contains 4 columns. Based on a certain value as a result of a database read, the 4th column, needs to contain a button control else it will contain plain text. How do I this in the code-behind using VB.Net? The code that I have is below but it's not working. I've never worked with a repeater control before.
Thanks,
This is the code-behind
Thanks,
Code:
<asp:repeater id="dlAppeal" runat="server">
<HeaderTemplate>
<tr id="AppealHeader" runat="server">
<td class="tableHeaderNw" align="center" width="11%">Date</td>
<td class="tableHeaderNw" align="center" width="16%">Type</td>
<td class="tableHeaderNw" align="center" width="53%">Description</td>
<td class="tableHeaderNw" align="center" width="20%">Appellant</td>
</tr>
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr>
<td align="left" width="11%" class="citDataBlack">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "D_TransDt") %>
</td>
<td align="left" width="16%" class="citDataBlack">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "D_TransDesc") %>
</td>
<td align="left" width="53%" class="citDataBlack">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "D_Explanation") %>
</td>
<td align="left" width="20%" class="citDataBlack">
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "D_Appelant") %>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:repeater>This is the code-behind
Code:
If appelant <> "" Then
RSAppeal("D_appelant") = appelant
Else
If RSAppeal("TransCode") = 108 Then
Dim btn As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button
btn.Text = "Print Appeal Letter"
dlAppeal.Controls.Add(btn)
btn.Visible = True
RSAppeal("D_appelant") = btn
End If
End If
