if statement in aspx page

Question

I want to write a basic if statement on my site to display either item 1 or item 2 depending on if a variable is set to true.

I am not to familiar with .Net and need a little help with the basic structure of how to get an if statement to work on the aspx page.

thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Here's a simple one written in VB for an ASPX page:

                If myVar > 1 Then
                    response.write("Greater than 1")
                else
                    response.write("Not!")
                End If

Answer 2

Hi,

if the purpose is to show or hide a part of the page then you can do the following things

1) wrap it in markup with

<% if(somecondition) { %>
   some html
<% } %>

2) Wrap the parts in a Panel control and in codebehind use the if statement to set the Visible property of the Panel.

Grz, Kris.

Answer 3

Normally you'd just stick the code in Page_Load in your .aspx page's code-behind.

if (someVar) {
    Item1.Visible = true;
    Item2.Visible = false;
} else {
    Item1.Visible = false;
    Item2.Visible = true;
}

This assumes you've got Item1 and Item2 laid out on the page already.

<div>
    <% 
        if (true)
        {
    %>
    <div>
        Show true content
    </div>
    <%
        }
        else
        {
    %>
    <div>
        Show false content
    </div>
    <%
        }
    %>
</div>
