Problem setting NavigateUrl's in DataList (hyperlink)

[VB Programmer]

I have a datalist with a hyperlink in the Item Template.

When I set the NavigateUrl simply to this, the databound CategoryId shows up
fine:
<asp:HyperLin k id=hlLink runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<% #Container.Data Item("CategoryI d")%>'>
<%# Container.DataI tem("CategoryNa me") %>
</asp:HyperLink>& nbsp;
When I try to add it as a querystring it doesn't show up correctly. For
example, if I set NavigateUrl to this:
NavigateUrl='Sh op.aspx?Categor yId=<%#Containe r.DataItem("Cat egoryId")%>'>

The URL address is this:
Shop.aspx?Categ oryId=<%#Contai ner.DataItem("C ategoryId")%>

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Figured it out:
NavigateUrl='<% #"Shop.aspx?Cat egoryId=" &
DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "CategoryId")%> '>
Thanks y'all!

Or like this:

NavigateUrl='<% = DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, "CategoryId ",
"shop.aspx?cate goryId={0}") %>'
