[Majid Darab]

hi my dear friends:

in my rad grid i have a boundColumn(system.string) that i want to change it's null value to another customize text...

how can i check and change the Text Of that DataBound column of My telerik RadGrid?

(what event should i use and how change the text?

is it possible to do that without codebehind and using BindingExpression(Conditional Expression))?)

thanks for your future answer

In the codebehind, you can modify the output in the ItemDataBound event like below, just change "Nothing" to whatever message you want to display based on your condition.

 

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

 

{

 

    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

 

    {

 

        GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

 

 

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(dataItem["Column1"].Text))
        {
            dataItem["Column1"].Text = "Nothing";
        }

 

    }
}

I believe you can also do the same in the aspx page I believe it would look something like this (going from memory), just replace "DataElement" with the field name from your data source:

Text='<%# string.IsNullOrEmpty(Eval("DataElement").ToString()) ? "Nothing" : Eval("DataElement") %>'

Really Really Thanks For ur Answer...

the below code is working perfectly :

protected void grd_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{

    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;

        //if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(dataItem["Test"].Text))
        if(dataItem["Test"].Text == " ")
        {
            dataItem["Test"].Text = "Empty";
            dataItem["Test"].ForeColor = ColorTranslator.FromHtml("#006E6E");
        }
    }

}

but i have some questions for the way #2
the grid databound column aspx code is like this :

<telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Test" FilterImageToolTip="فیلتر" HeaderText="column1"
    SortExpression="Test" UniqueName="Test">
    <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

as u see there is no text property here...
if u mean we should use a template column and a lable inside it , so in this way we lost filtering this column.
how can we fix the upper issue?

thanks in future advance
