Question

I have a need to open a popup detail window from a gridview (VS 2005 / 2008). What I am trying to do is in the markup for my TemplateColumn have an asp:Button control, sort of like this:

<asp:Button ID='btnShowDetails' runat='server' CausesValidation='false'    CommandName='Details' Text='Order Details'     onClientClick='window.open('PubsOrderDetails.aspx?OrderId=<%# Eval('order_id') %>',    '','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes, width=350, height=550');'    

Of course, what isn’t working is the appending of the <%# Eval…%> section to set the query string variable.

Any suggestions? Or is there a far better way of achieving the same result?

Answer 1

I believe the way to do it is

onClientClick=<%# string.Format('window.open('PubsOrderDetails.aspx?OrderId={0}',scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes, width=350, height=550);', Eval('order_id')) %>
