Rich:
For that case , you could write a method for that while the forum-list is databinding .
(Oh,sorry , I copy the wrong code for the blog)
<td class="CommonListCell ForumGroupTotalThreadsColumn" align="center">
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" Target="_blank" NavigateUrl='<%# ResolveUrl("~/RedirectForumToChat.Aspx?ForumId="+((Forum) Container.DataItem).SectionID) %>' runat="server"
Visible='<%# YouCodeToDetermineIsTheForumVisible( (Forum)Container.DataItem ) %>'
>Chat</asp:HyperLink>
</td>
you code :
static public bool YouCodeToDetermineIsTheForumVisible(Forum forum)
{
if(forum.Name=="Hello") return true;
if ( forum Some Property Is OK ) return true;
return false;
}
Hope this helps
