 Topic: Needs Help with Container.DataItem
Posted: 04 November 2004 at 8:05pm |
I cannot figure out where I am supposed to put a ) for
<%# IIF(FieldValueIsMissing(Container.DataItem("WebSite")), "", "<a href='" & (Container.DataItem("WebSite") & "'>Go To Web Site</a>", "")%>.
I got the following error message: BC30198: ')' expected.
I tried adding a ) to several places. It would not work. Can you please help me figure out where the ) should be?

That didn't work. I had tried that before. I got the following error message: BC30057: Too many arguments to 'Public Function IIf(Expression As Boolean, TruePart As Object, FalsePart As Object) As Object'.
It's obviously a problem with the syntax somewhere. I tried putting another ) at the end, but it didn't work. I got the error message about needing ).
Here's the function that I am using: Function FieldValueIsMissing(objValueToCheck As Object) As Boolean
if objValueToCheck is DBNull.Value Then
return True
else
return False
end if
End Function

That should work.

it may not be a ) becasue of the ' and " in there it make it a bit hard. Try stripping it back to
<%# IIF(FieldValueIsMissing(Container.DataItem("WebSite")), "One", "Two", "")%>.
You may have too many , in there.
it should be IIf(expression, truepart, falsepart)
I thnink you have IIf(expression, truepart, falsepart,extra part)
try
<%# IIF(FieldValueIsMissing(Container.DataItem("WebSite")), "One", "Two")%>.
or
<%# IIF(FieldValueIsMissing(Container.DataItem("WebSite")), "", "<a href='" & (Container.DataItem("WebSite")) & "'>Go To Web Site</a>")%>.

This code definatley works, tweak it to yours:
<%# IIf(Databinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Popularity") > (New Devjunkies_Link_Manager.SettingsProvider).HotLimit, " <span class='hot'>Hot!</span>", String.Empty) %>

I forgot to mention that I cannot use Databinder.Eval for this particular DataList. The line of code: <%# IIF(FieldValueIsMissing(Container.DataItem("WebSite")), "", "<a href='" & Container.DataItem("WebSite") & "'>Go To Web Site</a>")%>
that Leeb65 gave worked.
