Custom text displayed based on a boolean database value

How can I do is kind of a useless subject line choice.

You'd do this with code that sets the label text based on the state of the variable, perhaps using the conditional operator, something like <%= ((bool)Eval("myCol")) ? "Accepted" : "Not Accepted"; %>, assuming it's in a template definition for some sort of grid.

This is a pretty basic question, if you are working on something for a class ( there's no level on which I'd accept it as remotely reasonable that you're being paid to code ), then you should have a book to refer to, surely ?
