Can an ASP.NET 2.0 textbox have its text set to a combination of three XML datasource values?

For example, this textbox is in a gridview whose datasource is an XML document.  Currently its text is set to one value:  Text='<% #XPath("somedate/day") %>', but I'd like to set text to day + "/" + month + "/" + year.  Can this be done using Eval?

Thanks!

TRY

Text='<% #XPath("somedate/day") %>', but I'd like to set text to day + "/" + month + "/" + year.


text = '<%# Eval("somedate/day")%> /<%# Eval("somedate/month")%>/<%# Eval("somedate/year")%>'

dont forget mark answer if this helps
 

LuizFicer:

text = '<%# Eval("somedate/day")%> /<%# Eval("somedate/month")%>/<%# Eval("somedate/year")%>'

Thanks, but that syntax causes a build error.

Maybe the XPath concat function is the answer, but am not sure of syntax.

text = "<%# Eval("somedate/day")%> /<%# Eval("somedate/month")%>/<%# Eval("somedate/year")%>'" 

PUT THIS

text = "<%# Eval("somedate/day")%> /<%# Eval("somedate/month")%>/<%# Eval("somedate/year")%>" 

PUT THIS

I also tried the XPath concat approach recommended in the last post of this thread:  http://forums.devx.com/showthread.php?threadid=166182 (/somedate/concat(day, month, year).  That caused a run time error "invalid token", so I tried /somedate/concat[day, month, year] but it resulted in the same error.

 Found a similar example here.  Will try this and update this post with results.

there is problem in the xPath expression - somedate/concat(day, month, year

when you write concat you can write the xPath as a suffix to it

it should be something liek this

concat(somedate/day, somedate/month, somedate/year)
