Binding Hyperlink.Navig ateUrl declaratively

[Dmitry Duginov]

I have a FormView and a HyperLink on the page.

If I use the following code behind (hooked up to Hyperlink's OnLoad event),
it renders fine

protected void link_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
link.NavigateUr l = String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?Id= {0}",
FormView1.DataK ey.Value);
}

However, I was not able to achieve the same goal declaratively, just using
<%# ... %syntax in .aspx

Where's the catch?

show us your code for the second one

Any of the following renders just text instead of hyperlink:
NavigateUrl='<% # String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?Id= {0}",
Eval("FormView1 .DataKey.Value" )) %>'

NavigateUrl='<% # String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?Id= {0}",111) %>'

NavigateUrl='<% # Eval("FormView1 .DataKey.Value" ) %>'

Hi Dmitry,

I've done some test and both of following approaches should work for you:
<asp:HyperLin k ID="link1" runat="server" Text="Link" NavigateUrl='<% #
String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?id= {0}", Eval("Id"))
%>'></asp:HyperLink>
<br />
<asp:HyperLin k ID="link2" runat="server" Text="Link2" NavigateUrl='<% #
String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?id= {0}", FormView1.DataK ey.Value)
%>'></asp:HyperLink>

The first one is assuming you need to use some field as the id; the second
one is the exact case as yours.

Please feel free to let me know if there's anything I can help.

Hi Dmitry,

String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?id= {0}", Eval("Id"))

<br />

First one doesn't woudn't since I dont have Id control

<asp:HyperLin k ID="link2" runat="server" Text="Link2" NavigateUrl='<% #
String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?id= {0}", FormView1.DataK ey.Value)
%>'></asp:HyperLink>

Second one "just" doesn't work. It renders text only:
<a id="ctl00_Conte ntPlaceHolder1_ link2">Link2</a>

Hi Dmitry,

First one is just an example, just to describe an approach if you need to
use some filed instead of the DataKey.

Are you using a multi fields DataKey? Would you please post your complete
code or send me a complete project?

Nope, it is single-field DataKey. The significant difference between your
code and mine is that my link is outside the FormView (see a new line for
link3). This way is doesn't work.

<asp:HyperLin k ID="link1" runat="server" Text="Link"
NavigateUrl='<% # String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?id= {0}", Eval("Id"))
%>'></asp:HyperLink>
<br />
<asp:HyperLin k ID="link2" runat="server" Text="Link2"
NavigateUrl='<% # String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?id= {0}",
FormView1.DataK ey.Value) %>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:FormView>
<asp:HyperLin k ID="link3" runat="server" Text="Link3"
NavigateUrl='<% # String.Format(" ~/Carrier/AddNew.aspx?id= {0}",
FormView1.DataK ey.Value) %>'></asp:HyperLink>
