If Statement in Visualforce page giving a Syntax error message

Question

I have a visualforce page that returns a list of Contacts and Leads, I want a column with the name of the Contact or the Lead whatever is in the list,I have a formula field IsContact__c that returns true if the campaign member is a Contact and false if it is a Lead. Here is the markup:

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Members}" var="c"> 
    <apex:column value="{!IF(c.IsContact__c,c.Contact.Name,c.Lead.Name)}"/>

When I run it, it gives me this error message:

Syntax error. Missing ')' Error is in expression '{!IF(c.IsContact__c,c.Contact.Name,c.Lead}' in component in page addmemberpage

Answer 1

Change

{!IF(c.IsContact__c,c.Contact.Name,c.Lead}

to

{!IF(c.IsContact__c,c.Contact.Name,c.Lead)}

If you cannot resolve the mismatch, you could create a wrapper class to loop over. Without seeing your existing controller/extesnion, it would look something like:

public class MemberWrapper
{
    public CampaignMember record { get; private set; }
    public MemberWrapper(CampaignMember record)
    {
        this.record = record;
    }
    public String name
    {
        get
        {
            return record.IsContact__c ? record.Contact.Name : record.Lead.Name;
        }
    }
}

I got it to work, you have to use rendered in order to use IF "show this" ELSE "Show THAT" This is the new code:

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Members}" var="c">
                <apex:column ><apex:facet name="header">Name</apex:facet>
                <apex:outputText value="{!c.Contact.Name}" rendered="{!c.IsContact__c==True}" />
                <apex:outputText value="{!c.Lead.Name}" rendered="{!c.IsContact__c==False}" />
               </apex:column>

Now when IsContact is true the column Name will show the name of the Contact and when IsContact is false it will show the Lead Name. Thanks for your help guys!
