Using Container.DataItem with an If statement within <% %>
- by William Calleja
I have the following code in a c# aspx page:
<ItemTemplate>
<a <% if(((Dictionary<string, string>)Container.DataItem)["type"]==Session["type"]){%> class="active"<%}%>
This code is causing the following error.
Compiler Error Message: CS0117: 'System.ComponentModel.Container' does not contain a definition for 'DataItem'
Why is that and how can I make a conditional statement that uses the Container.DataItem? Container.DataItem works perfectly when used within a <%# %> however putting the if statement within the <%# %> causes the following error:
Compiler Error Message: CS1518: Expected class, delegate, enum, interface, or struct
