Question

In my ASPX page I’ve this:

<h3>
    <asp:HyperLink runat="server"
        NavigateUrl="<%$ Resources:Path, Article%>"
        Text='<%# Eval("title") %>' />
</h3>

For the NavigateUrl attribute I want to specify an ID like

NavigateUrl="<%$ Resources:Path, Article%>?id=4"

But when I do that the expression is not precessed by the ASP parser.

How can I do that?

Don’t do this in markup. You have a server control here — give it an ID (say, ID="NavigationLink", and then do something like this in your .cs file:

void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // I'm guessing that "4" was just an example here, so fill that piece in with a function you can call to create the proper ID.
    NavigationLink.NavigateUrl = Properties.Resources.Path + Properties.Resources.Article + "?id=4" 
}

Edit: I’m assuming that when you say <%$ Resources:Path, Article%> that you’re trying to reference the Path and Article entries in your resources file, but upon further reflection, it’s hard to tell exactly what you’re doing. Can you be more specific here?
