Hello everyone

Is it possible to encode DataNavigateUrlFields in HyperLinkField of a
gridview in asp 2 so that the url is properly formatted for "&" and
other special characters.

Use the format string to set up how the string should be formatted. This
will url encode the string when it is a hyperlink.
