Question

I’m having a problem passing a date value from a GridView generated HyperLinkField to another page. Through some searching, I believe I’m using the correct syntax to generate the link, but whenever I try to bind a date to the DataNavigateUrlFields property, it won’t create the hyper link. The method that I’m using does work when passing other fields.

This is the code I’m using.

<asp:HyperLinkField 
     DataNavigateUrlFields="DATE_REF,STUDENT_ID,ASSIGN_ID"
     DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Edit.aspx?DATE_REF={0}&STUDENT_ID={1}&ASSIGN_ID={2}"
     HeaderText="Edit" 
     Text="&lt;img src='/Images/edit.png' alt='Update' border='0'/&gt;" />

how could I solve this ?

Answer 1

Try with Date Format String {0:d},

 DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Edit.aspx?DATE_REF={0:d}&STUDENT_ID={1}&ASSIGN_ID={2}"
