Thinking in the right way?

| Hi All,
I'm new to ASP.Net.
As I understand it, the code and presentation should as much as possible
remain seperate. Code is in the 'codebehind' - Be it a script block at the
top of the page or seperate file. I have a situation where I need to list
the number of related records.
So far, I have a datalist, which displays records along with an indicator of
related records for that record, example... "France (4)" (Four related
records)
What I would like to do is display a messages depending on how many related
records are found
e.g. 'Record' where there is 1 record, and 'Records' where there are 1 or
more records, and 'No Records' where there are zero.
This would probably be quite straight forward in a script block at the point
of display, but I would like to do this the 'proper' way to keep my
presentation and logic seperate.
So...Can anyone advise how I would go about setting a label for each item in
my datalist? Is this done at the point of binding the data? Am I
understanding this correctly?
Heres what I currently have...
<ItemTemplate>
<a href="/show_resorts.aspx?countryid=<%# Container.DataItem("countryid")
%>">
<img src="/assets/images/flags/<%# Container.DataItem("countryid") %>.jpg"
title="View records for <%# Container.DataItem("country") %>"
class="SPDImage" /></br>
<%# Container.DataItem("country") %><br>
<span class="smallprint">(<%# Container.DataItem("Resorts") %>
Resorts)</span>
</a>
</ItemTemplate>
The above is a chunk from my datalist, which is bound to an MS Access
OleDbCommand.
Thanks!
Simon.

You should be able to call a code behind function.......
Function string ReturnPlural(int aNumber)
if aNumber=0 then
return "NoRecords"
elseif aNumber=1 then
return "1 Record"
else
return aNumber.ToString() & " Records"
end if
End Function
on your page you'd use...
<%=ReturnPlural(# Container.DataItem("Resorts") )#%>
*Note: I could be (and likely am) wrong, so try a dot net group..
