Question

I am using asp.net and I’m working with a gridview. I have one of the fields in my GridView set up as a HyperLinkField that represents the name of the category. I pull the name and Id from a database and I can never be sure what they are because they are added separately. I want to be able to pass a changing CategoryId to another page through the query string. How can I do this with a GridView?

Answer 1

In your Hyperlink field, set the DataNavigateUrlFields to your ID column and set the DataNavigateUrlFormatString to the Url to navigate to (where {0} will be replaced by ID)

<asp:HyperLinkField      DataNavigateUrlFields='ID'      DataNavigateUrlFormatString='Target.aspx?ID={0}'     DataTextField='Name'      Target='_blank'> </asp:HyperLinkField>
