Hi,
I'd use a template column and a helper function to add the variable. Here's
a little sample below.
Let us know if this helps?

Hey all, I need to add a hyperlinkcolumn to a datagrid, but the path
(DataNavigateUr lFormatString) is dynamic, since the page lists files in
directories. The folder name to list is stored in a variable (strPath).
The code that I tried is: DataNavigateUrl FormatString='< %#strPath
%>/{0}'
But it says: "Databindin g expressions are only supported on objects
that have a DataBinding event"
Anyway I could place my variable on that field, using another way, or
what Im doing wrong ? I searched for this problem and find some info
about TemplateColumns too, can I insert variables onto it ?
Thanks for helping.
