    <p>I have some XSLT that looks like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="string(//User[@UserID = $UserID]/ROOT/Prop[@Nm = 'GreaseBoardCategory'])"&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="Type" select="concat('Documenter', //User[@UserID = $UserID]/ROOT/Prop[@Nm = 'GreaseBoardCategory'])"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;xsl:otherwise&gt; &lt;xsl:variable name="Type" select="concat('Documenter', user:GetUserType(string(//Payload/@SiteID), string(@UserID)))"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:otherwise&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; </code></pre> <p>And I want to assign a variable to it called "Type" I see from other examples that I should be doing this instead:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:variable name="Type"&gt; &lt;xsl:choose&gt; &lt;xsl:when test="string(//User[@UserID = $UserID]/ROOT/Prop[@Nm = 'GreaseBoardCategory'])"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="concat('Documenter', //User[@UserID = $UserID]/ROOT/Prop[@Nm = 'GreaseBoardCategory'])"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:when&gt; &lt;xsl:otherwise&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="concat('Documenter', user:GetUserType(string(//Payload/@SiteID), string(@UserID)))"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:otherwise&gt; &lt;/xsl:choose&gt; &lt;/xsl:variable&gt; </code></pre> <p>But my variable is NOT getting set. It should hit the Otherwise block but never does. Any ideas? It doesn't get set to anything..</p> <p>The only way to get Type to be set is to do away with the Choose/When/Otherwise statements and just pick one of the two options, like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:variable name="Type" select="concat('Documenter', //User[@UserID = $UserID]/ROOT/Prop[@Nm = 'GreaseBoardCategory'])"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>for example.</p>

    1. COWhat does VBScript (in question title) have to do with this?

    2. COIf it doesn't hit `xsl:otherwise`, then it means that condition for `xsl:when` is satisfied, and you should look into that specifically. Without seeing the input XML, not much else can be said.

    3. COthanks for the heads up about the title. Well, it doesn't hit either the When or the Otherwise, because I pass $Type into a VB procedure that spits the value of many variables out, and there's nothing there at all for Type.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
