You can also create a public method on the page then call that from the code-in-front.
e.g. if using C#:
public string ProcessMyDataItem(object myValue)
{
if (myValue == null)
{
return "0 value";
}
return myValue.ToString();
}
Then the label in the code-in-front will be something like:
<asp:Label ID="Label18" Text="<%# ProcessMyDataItem(Eval("item")) %>" runat="server"></asp:Label>
Sorry, haven’t tested this code so can’t guarantee I got the syntax of “<%# ProcessMyDataItem(Eval("item")) %>” entirely correct.
