ASP.NET datalist--add bold to one field and do not display empty fields
I have an asp classic web site that I am now recreating in ASP.Net 4.6 using Visual Studio 2013 and am having problems with what should be a simple datalist. I need to make the first field bold and I also do not want to display database fields that are empty. I tried using literal controls but when I got the bold to work, the code was displayed instead of the data. I would appreciate any advice. I am attaching the code below. --Shari
