naviagte url in Gridview

[NH]

I am trying to open a new window from a hyperlink control in a gridview
(vb.net).

I have this..
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Project" SortExpression="Project">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" Text='<%# Bind("Project") %>'
runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<%# String.Format("java
script:openWindow('/SomePage.aspx?SomeID={0}','SomeDescription','scrol lbars=yes,width=442,height=500');",
((System.Data.DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["SomeField"] as string)
%>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

The navigateURl property is displaying an error "a call to bind mucst be
assigned to a property of a control inside a template".

What am I doing wrong?

Here is my Code.
maybe it can help.

<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="MYID" HeaderText =
"My Link To MyID"

DataNavigateUrlFormatString="http://www.mysite.com/myfile.asp?id={0}"
Target="_NEW"
DataTextField="MYID" SortExpression="MYID" />
this is inside my
<asp:gridview> and then <Columns> tag.

...

The bind seems ok but the NavigateUrl seems not(!)
Maybe to clear this a little you might want to point to a function in this
case.
Also try to use Eval(), useful on some occasions.
