Hi Gregory,
I read what you wrote and I have my autobinding turned off.
I also tried to not use {0} but I am having some problems there.
I am working on this for hours and everything looks fine.
It's just that all the links show messed up.
The GridView is all defined at runtime.
Could you, please, take a look at my code and tell me what am I doing
wrong?
I point with "****" the code line which I think are giving me problems
with QueryStrings.

EventArgs) Handles gvRSSChannels.Init

Dim tfIcon As New TemplateField
tfIcon.ItemTemplate = New gvRSSChannelsTemplate(Me,
ListItemType.Item)
gvRSSChannels.Columns.Add(tfIcon)

.DataField = "Channel"

gvRSSChannels.Columns.Add(bfName)

{0} does not correspond to a particular field in the datatable. It is the
first item bound to the particular field in the Grid view. Open the designer
back up and bind at least one field to that column. That field will fill the
{0} in teh url string.
If you are in code behind, you can set the bound field, as well.
NOTE: The GridView auto binding should be turned off when you start binding
in this manner.

Hello,
In my GridView I have a HyperLink Field where I set the
DataNavigateUrlFormaString
MyHyperLinkField.DataNavigateUrlFormatString =
"~\RSS.ashx?Channel={0}&Culture=" &
System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCultu re.ToString()
I believe {0} retrieves the value of my datasource column with index 0.
That value is "News".
What I get when I copy the link when previewing the page is:
http://localhost:1717/JaquelineRoxoA...SS.ashx?c=News
The part "http://localhost:1717/JaquelineRoxoAtelier%202006a/" is the
web site url in my localhost but then I can't see the culture value and
everything else is strange.
In my GridView all the QueryStrings I am building look strange and
don't work.
Could somebody help me out?
Thanks,
Miguel
