I'm trying to check a string value inside a repeater, and if it has value then write a link, but can't seem to get it to work. If there is a value in myUrl then I want to display the link.

 <%if( %> <%#Eval("myURL").ToString().Length > 0 %>
       <a  title="myTitle" target="_blank" href="<%# Eval("myURL") %>">my link</a>                  
 <% } %>

Can anyone please help?
