Update label C#

When the page first load i have a label who has 0 or 1. Look at the code and you will se what i trying to do. But it don't work because the page allready loaded.

protected void rptBugStatus_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
        {
            Label lblName = e.Item.FindControl("lblBugStatus") as Label;
            if (lblName.Text == "1")
            {
                lblName.Text = lblName.Text + "Under arbete";
            }
            else if (lblName.Text == "0")
            {
                lblName.Text = "Fixad";
            }
            else { }
        }
    }

Ok, I am taking the assumption you have set this label (assuming to be in the repeater, from your code) to have a value - I have tried databinding to something exactly the same, using the below code.

protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);
    List<string> strList = new List<string>();
    strList.Add("1");
    rptBugStatus.DataSource = strList;
    rptBugStatus.DataBind();
}

protected void rptBugStatus_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)
    {
        Label lblBugStatus = e.Item.FindControl("lblBugStatus") as Label;
        // have added this just so we are actually setting the text property on the bug status
        // - i have assumed you do this.
        lblBugStatus.Text = e.Item.DataItem.ToString();

        if (lblBugStatus.Text.Equals("1"))
        {
            lblBugStatus.Text = lblBugStatus.Text + "Under arbete";
        }
        else if (lblBugStatus.Text.Equals("0"))
        {
            lblBugStatus.Text = "Fixad";
        }
    }
}

With the aspx being

    <asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="rptBugStatus" OnItemDataBound="rptBugStatus_ItemDataBound">

    <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:Label ID="lblBugStatus" runat="server"></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:Repeater>

And I have no problems.

I get the below on the page.

1Under arbete

I think you are going to need to post more code if you have hidden any away from us :)

You may have resolved this by now, but I think the problem with the code as you posted it is this:

Label lblName = e.Item.FindControl("lblBugStatus") as Label;

Because you are referencing a control in a repeater, the controls inside each repeater item are named dynamically based on their context. Most likely the name of the control is something like:

"rptBugStatus$repeaterItem0$lblBugStatus"

To find out the exact name, hard code a value, run the page in a browser, and look at the HTML output (via "View Source" in the browser menu). You should be able to scroll down and see your repeater (it will be rendered as a <table> tag), its items, and the controls living inside each item. The IDs/Names will be set and you can copy/paste them into your FindControl method.

Hope this helps,
