  Hi...

  I am using datalist. In dat i am binding label's text property like this...

  <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Cost","{0:n2}") %>
  

  Now in codebehind, I am using OnItemDataBound event and want to check if its value is null.. I am taking this labels value in a string & comparing it to "".  But the value dat comes in string is <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Cost","{0:n2}") %>  . Nd i want the actual value to be checked. Plz tell me how to solve this...

   Here's a section of code that I used to 'test' what you're doing. It may help to give you a pointer in the right direction:

      protected void DataList1_ItemDataBound(object sender, DataListItemEventArgs e)
      {       
          int x = ((Order)e.Item.DataItem).Cost;
          Response.Write(x.ToString());
      }
   

  Order is a simple class I used as the test datasource - casting it back again to access the public members.

  Dunno if this helps at all.
