Datagrid Itemtemplate

[NeilV]

Hello,

I am trying to fill in a cell in my datagrid in the following way:
<ItemTemplate>
<% if DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;type&quot) = &quot;1&quot Then
GetTotal(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;type_of_expense&quot, DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;1&quot, &quot;&quot
ElseIf (trim(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;type_of_expense&quot) = &quot;2&quot)
Then
GetTotal(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;type_of_expense&quot, DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;2&quot, &quot;&quot
Else
GetTotal(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;type_of_expense&quot, DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;Amount&quot, &quot;&quot
End if

%>

But i get the following error:

BC30451: Name 'Container' is not declared

How can i fix this?

Try adding # to your <% where the code begins. and moving the dataitem to the quoted text.

[tt]<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, &quot;DataItem.type&quot...[/tt]

I checked your syntax with the syntax on faq855-4372.

It also looks like you have an extra ) in the first line before the equal sign.
[tt]<% if DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, &quot;type&quot) = &quot;1&quot Then[/tt]
