Question

Using c#, .net, Visual Studio 2010

I have a situation when a user clicks on Hyperlink on the gridview the navigationurl should be created on the fly using steps
1 calling webservice and passing few values and receive new idkey which needs to be attached to the navigation url of the control, i can get this done under RowDataBound event, but it will make waste calls to webservice for each row in the grid. Instead i want this to be done when the user clicks the link??

another idea i can think of is using a page in between fill page saying redirecting, but that needs to be auto submit?? any clue on this??? or better way of doing??

Thanks

Hyperlink column is added in the Pageload

  HyperLinkField LinksBoundField = new HyperLinkField();
            string[] dataNavigateUrlFields = {"link"};
            LinksBoundField.DataTextField = "link";
            LinksBoundField.DataNavigateUrlFields = dataNavigateUrlFields;
**LinksBoundField.NavigateUrl; //call webservice(send appid and refno) and append newtoken to url (reieved from datasource link)**
            LinksBoundField.DataNavigateUrlFormatString = "http://" + Helper.IP + "/" + Helper.SiteName + "/" + Helper.ThirdPartyAccess + "?value={0}&token=" + Session["Token"]; 
            LinksBoundField.HeaderText = "Link";
            LinksBoundField.Target = "_blank";          
                  GridViewLinkedService.Columns.Add(LinksBoundField);    
               GridViewLinkedService.RowDataBound += new GridViewRowEventHandler(grdView_RowDataBound);

Answer 1

deleted the datanavigation code

  string[] dataNavigateUrlFields = {"link"};                LinksBoundField.DataTextField = "link";                LinksBoundField.DataNavigateUrlFields = dataNavigateUrlFields; 

Changed to below url passed with grdviewLink.NavigateUrl does not get jumbled up.

 <asp:HyperLinkField DataTextField="link" HeaderText="Multi-Link" Target="_blank" ItemStyle-Width = "5px" ItemStyle-Wrap ="true">
                     <HeaderStyle  Wrap="True" Width="5px"  BackColor="#4B6C9E" BorderStyle="Solid" Font-Bold="True"   Font-Names="Verdana"   ForeColor="White"/>

                    </asp:HyperLinkField>    

 protected void grdView_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
        {
            string strvalue = "";         
            string strRef = "";
            string strAppId = "";
            foreach (GridViewRow row in GridViewLinkedService.Rows)
            {
                if (row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
                {  //reference and appid
                    strAppId = row.Cells[0].Text;
                    strRef = row.Cells[1].Text;
                    HyperLink grdviewLink = (HyperLink)row.Cells[6].Controls[0];
                    strvalue = grdviewLink.Text;
                    grdviewLink.NavigateUrl = "~/My Service/Navigate.ashx?AppID=" + strAppId.ToString() + "&Ref=" + strRef.ToString() + "&nurl=" + Server.UrlEncode(strvalue);

                } 
            }
        }

Navigate.ashx file

public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
            if (context.Request.QueryString.GetValues("AppID") != null)
            {
                appid = context.Request.QueryString.GetValues("AppID")[0].ToString();
            }

            if (context.Request.QueryString.GetValues("Ref") != null)
            {
                refno = context.Request.QueryString.GetValues("Ref")[0].ToString();
            }

            if (context.Request.QueryString.GetValues("nurl") != null)
            {

                nurl = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(context.Request.QueryString.GetValues("nurl")[0].ToString());
            }

this works very well

Thanks to Curt got the tip of using ashx file instead of aspx from here

ashx
