Evaluate with conditions

if you want to test against a condition and two possible results and return boolean when databinding then this is quite useful. You can also use this is your code behind which makes it look less messy i.e. with anonymous types <%# Eval("yourfield") == null ? String.Empty : Eval("yourfield")%>

Format Twitter Feed Create Date

Here's how to format the Twitter Date to the C# .net DateTime datatype. You will need to use "using System.Globalization;"

string date = [YourTwitterDateHere];

DateTime twitterDate = DateTime.ParseExact(date, "ddd MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzz yyyy", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

Why they have this format is beyond me, but this is how you can use it for what ever purpose you require in your project. Enjoy!
