Question

I have a web application where I am getting data from an oracle database in a gridview.

Can anyone tell me how to turn this data into links to other pages on my web application?

For example, if I am getting data about a list of objects that have their own ID, I want to be able to click the ID and go to a page with information on only that object

This is all the code for my gridview, in SystemGrid_Sorting, I get all the info from the databse, so I can’t actually define the properties of my columns.

Thanks in advance

asp:GridView ID=’SystemGrid’ runat=’server’ AllowSorting=’True’ Width=’232px’ OnSorting=’SystemGrid_Sorting’ >

This is very easy:

<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields='ID'  DataNavigateUrlFormatString='DetailPage.aspx?id={0}'                     DataTextField='CategoryName' NavigateUrl='DetailPage.aspx' /> 

Now just set up DetailPage.aspx to call into the database using the ID in the querystring and display whatever you like.
