Question

I need to Bind “JobRefNo” to the query string.Above binding gives an error.what is the correct way?

<asp:LinkButton ID="MoreLinkButton" PostBackUrl="/real/Coordinator/Home.aspx?JobRefNo="'<%# Bind("JobRefNo") %>' runat="server">Go To Job...</asp:LinkButton>  

Link Button is inside a DataList control.Error says
“Call to Bind must be assigned to a property of a control inside a template”

Answer 1

Bit of an odd one there — you’ve ended the PostBackUrl property and then started an unmatched binding: aspx?JobRefNo="'<

It would probably be better to compose your value in the model in the code behind and then eval the whole lot into the postback url:

Code behind:

public string JobRefPostback {
    get{return "/real/Coordinator/Home.aspx?JobRefNo="+JobRefNo;}
}

On page:

<asp:LinkButton ID="MoreLinkButton" PostBackUrl='<%= JobRefPostback %>' runat="server">Go To Job...</asp:LinkButton>

Hope that helps!
