Container.ItemIndex and repeater.Items.Count

[supercrossking]

Ok. I can display the results on a web page and I can watch them count
to the last item in my example, which is 6. However,
Container.ItemIndex = alsoBoughtList2.Items.Count -1 do not equal, so
I never get to yes below. Why????

ItemCount: 6 | Container.ItemIndex: 6
It always displays no.

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = alsoBoughtList2.Items.Count -1, "yes",
"no")%>

However, if I do this.

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = 6, "yes", "no")%>

it works.

What is going on?

Finding it hard to follow what you have. You are specifying two
different controls. Offhand, I would say that you're assuming that
Container and alsoBoughtList contain the same items at the same
locations. That may be an incorrect assumption.

More details..

alsoBoughtList2 is a repeater control. The count for my example in the
repeater, alsoBoughtList2.Items.Count -1 is 6 too. What I am saying is
if I statically put in the number 6, it works. However, when I try to
use the repeater's count, it does not work.

If I add a static 6, like in the 2nd example, it works. The first does
not. I am using repeater item count.

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = alsoBoughtList2.Items.Count -1, "yes",
"no")%>

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = 6, "yes", "no")%>

Try debugging and checking the value of alsoBoughtList2.Items.

[Glenn]

You still haven't provided us with the coorelation between Container
and alsoBoughtList2!

If (Count == 6) && (ItemIndex == 6) then ItemIndex != (Count - 1).
Are you sure you are doing the correct comparison?

As Cerebrus mentioned, run it through your debugger and make sure you
have the values you think you have. You're specifying two different
controls, make sure of what you have. Go back and review your
"Debugging 101" class.

I'll give you a hint:

If "ItemIndex = Count - 1" doesn't work but "ItemIndex = 6" does work,
then the problem is with "Count - 1"!!

Think logically, NOT numerically.

I can see the values on the page I am displaying them on. I believe
the problem is because the Container.ItemIndex is only available
during data binding. I was looking for help, not remarks...

coorelation between Container.ItemIndex (repeater data items) and
alsoBoughtList2<----(repeater)

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = alsoBoughtList2.Items.Count -1, "yes",
"no")%>

<%# iif(Container.ItemIndex = 6, "yes", "no")%>

I am giving you help, you're just not following it. You keep coming
back with the same lines every time. You have the complete code and
development environment in front of you, we don't. You need to tell
us what is going on. All we can do is direct you to places to look.
It's up to you to figure it out!

Go back to "Debugging 101" and work things through. Either your
interactive debugger or outputing of the values will work.

We're not psychic. Phychotic, maybe, but not phychic.

I agree. We can only give the OP suggestions... finding the solution
remains upto the OP.

[Glenn Niesen]

Just to make sure I'm not completely crazy (DON'T COMMENT!!)

 

If "ItemIndex = Count - 1" doesn't work, but "ItemIndex = 6" does work, then that would mean "Count - 1 <> 6".  Right?  I think it is really obvious where the problem is.
