Hi all,

I have a generic channel render, that uses a datagrid to display a postings 
collection:

<asp:datagrid runat="server" id="displayGrid" autogeneratecolumns="False" al
lowpaging="True" pagesize="10" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="3" borderwidth="0" pagerstyle-nextpagetext="Next 10" pagerstyle
-prevpagetext="Previous 10" showheader="False">
<columns>
<asp:templatecolumn>
<itemtemplate>
<h4><a href="<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.URL")%>"><%#DataBinder.
Eval(Container.DataItem,
"DisplayName")%></a></h4>
<p>
<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "PlaceHolders['PostingSummary'].H
tml")%><br />
<sup>(<b>Created</b>: <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.StartDate")%> )
</sup>
</p>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:templatecolumn>
</columns>
</asp:datagrid>

When the user is in presentation mode, this is fine.  However, when the user
 switched to Edit mode, I want to display the posting
status/state.

As you can appreciate, the list of published postings can be very different 
from the work in progress postings.

Basically, what I want is something like below:

[When in Published Mode]
==============
Posting Title (Status: Published)
First Posting (Status Published)

[When in Edit mode]
==============
Posting Title (Status: Published)
Another Posting Title (Status: Saved)
Yet Another Posting Title (Status: Waiting For Editor Approval)
First Posting (Status Published)

Does anyone have an idea of how I can achieve this?

Hi George,

add the following to your datagrid to display the current state:

(<b>State</b>: <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.State")%> )

The complete grid (I just tested it) looks like this:

<asp:datagrid runat="server" id="displayGrid"
autogeneratecolumns="False" allowpaging="True" pagesize="10" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="3" borderwidth="0" pagerstyle-nextpagetext="Next 10"
pagerstyle-prevpagetext="Previous 10" showheader="False">
<columns>
<asp:templatecolumn>
<itemtemplate>
<h4><a href="<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.URL")%>"><%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"DisplayName")%></a></h4>
<p>
<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,
"PlaceHolders['PostingSummary'].Html")%><br />
<sup>(<b>Created</b>: <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.StartDate")%> )</sup><br>
(<b>State</b>: <%#DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.State")%> )
</p>
</itemtemplate>
</asp:templatecolumn>
</columns>
</asp:datagrid>

Cheers,
Stefan
