Question

I have a function that is called getUserID and I would like to pass the user ID via NavigateUrl within asp:HyperLink.

This is my hyperlink:

            <asp:HyperLink ID="lnkMyAccount" Text="My Account" 
                NavigateUrl="~/Users/View.aspx" style="color:White" CssClass="myAreaLink" 
                Runat="server" Font-Size="Small" />
                &nbsp;|&nbsp;

I tried this but it did not work:

            <asp:HyperLink ID="lnkMyAccount" Text="My Account" 
                NavigateUrl='<%# "~/Users/View.aspx" + CPDManagement._code.SearchSelection.getUserID().Tables[0].Rows[0]["u_ID"].ToString() %> style="color:White" CssClass="myAreaLink" 
                Runat="server" Font-Size="Small" />
                &nbsp;|&nbsp;

Answer 1

What about doing it in the code behind?

if(Page.IsPostBack)
{
    lnkMyAccount.NavigateUrl = String.Format("~/Users/View.aspx?UserID={0}", myUserID); 
}

So it will just programmatically overwrite the navigation URL

Does that work for you?

You might be able to get the <%# .. %> data binding syntax to work by calling data bind on the page i.e.

if(Page.IsPostBack)
{
    Page.DataBind();
}

I would do the first way though
