#Eval if statement in repeater

Question

I\'m trying to check a string value inside a repeater, and if it has value then write a link, but can\'t seem to get it to work. If there is a value in myUrl then I want to

I personally hate using conditional logic like that in the page.

There are two options that I think are better. You could have a Hyperlink control in the repeater - and set the visibility depending on if the myURL param is there.

visibility='<% #Eval("myURL").ToString().Length > 0 %>' 

OR what you can do is have a method on your code behind that you call back to with the "myURL" param.

E.g.

public string CreateURL(string myURL){
    if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(myURL)){
       return "

And call in ASPX

<%# CreateURL(Eval("myURL").ToString()) %>

NB this is untested code but this is the ways I usually do this sort of thing.
