Using Field Value as Hyperlink Name

[Wayne Wengert]

I want to use the contents of one field to be the text the user clicks on
for a hyperlink in a datagrid. I am trying the following code but it does
not work. What is the correct syntax for this? The field "InfoURL" contains
the hyperlink and the field "City" is a string field containing the text I
want the user to be able to clock on.

<columns>
<asp:BoundColum n HeaderText="Sta rt Date" DataField="Star tDate"
DataFormatStrin g="{0:d}" />
<asp:BoundColum n HeaderText="Max <br>Perc<br>Uni ts" DataField="MaxL oc" />
<asp:HyperlinkC olumn
HeaderText="Inf o URL"
DataNavigateURL Field="InfoURL"
Text=<%# Container.DataI tem("City") %>.ToString />
</columns>

<asp:TemplateCo lumn>
<ItemTemplate >
<P align="center">
<asp:HyperLin k NavigateUrl='<% #
"CA_ShowProduct Stock.aspx?Prod uctID=" +
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item,"ProductID ") + "&ProductColorI D=" +
