How come this ins't working for me? If/Else repater string

Dcode warner asked on March 13, 2017 17:35

  <%# ((Eval("NodeOwner").ToString() != "Britney Spears") ? "Britney Spears true" : "") %>
  <%# ((Eval("NodeOwner").ToString() != "Britney Spears") ? "Britney Spears Web Desinger true" : "") %>
  <%# ((Eval("NodeOwner").ToString() != "Britney Spears") ? "Britney Spears Company true" : "") %>
  <br>
  <%# ((Eval("NodeOwner").ToString() != "Xtina Aguilera") ? "Xtina Aguilera true" : "") %>
  <%# ((Eval("NodeOwner").ToString() != "Xtina Aguilera") ? "Xtina Aguilera Web Desinger " : "") %>
  <%# ((Eval("NodeOwner").ToString() != "Xtina Aguilera") ? "Xtina Aguilera Company true" : "") %>

The results I get is everything listed one very page:
Results

Britney Spears true Britney Spears Web Desinger true Britney Spears Company true Xtina Aguilera true Xtina Aguilera Web Desinger Xtina Aguilera Company true

How can I write it so that if NodeOwner matches it only shows the Results information of that owner.

repeater if else in transformation

Okay, this is what you will need.

<%# IfCompare(CMS.SiteProvider.UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo((int)Eval("NodeOwner")).FullName, "Britney Spears", "not Britney Spears", "Is Britney Spears") %>

Have you tried just seeing what <% Eval("NodeOwner").ToString() %> resolves to? If it does'nt resolve to anything then all of your statements will be true.

The NodeOwner will also be an integer (the user id), so your logic won't ever resolve false because a number will never equal their names.

If you are using the Full name

<%# (GetUserFullName(Eval<int>("NodeOwner"), -1) != "Britney Spears") ? "Britney Spears true" : "") %>

Or using Text/html

{% (GlobalObjects.Users.Where("UserID = "+NodeOwner).FirstItem.FullName != "Britney Spears") ? "Britney Spears true" : "") |(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

If you are looking up by Username, use the below

<%# (CMS.Membership.UserInfoProvider.GetUserFullName(CMS.Helpers.ValidationHelper.GetInteger(Eval("NodeOwner"), -1)) != "Britney Spears") ? "Britney Spears true" : "") %>

Try to use IfCompare <%# IfCompare(Eval("NodeOwner"),"Britney Spears","No","Yes") %>

You right. It doesn't resolove to anything. However this gives me the user: <%#GetUserFullName(Eval<int>("NodeOwner"))%>

How can integrate that statement into my code above?

Sorry, type on my part.

Try

<%# (GetUserFullName(Eval<int>("NodeOwner") != "Britney Spears") ? "Britney Spears true" : "") %>

<%# IfCompare(GetUserFullName(Eval<int>("NodeOwner"), "Britney Spears"), "Not Britney Spears", "Is Britney Spears") %>

@Trevor Fayas Im still getting the following Errors. Is it because Im in Kentico 7?

Thank you! This also works for me:

<%# IfCompare(Eval("NodeOwnerFullName"),"Britney Spears","No","Yes") %>

Must be an old Kentico 7 column, 8+ doesn't have it.

Please mark answer as answered, kind gesture for time spent figuring this out :)
