Question

When a user logs in, I would like to present them with a list of their current records (requests). My asp.net is this-

        <asp:ListView ID="MySavedRequestsListView" runat="server" GroupItemCount="5">
            <LayoutTemplate>
                <table runat="server" id="table1">
                    <tr runat="server" id="groupPlaceholder">
                    </tr>
                </table>
            </LayoutTemplate>
            <GroupTemplate>
                <tr runat="server" id="tableRow">
                    <td runat="server" id="itemPlaceholder" />
                </tr>
            </GroupTemplate>
            <ItemTemplate>
                <tr id="TrUserRequest" runat="server">
                    <td id="TdTitle" runat="server">
                        <asp:Label ID="TitleLabel" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("title") %>'
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:ListView>

and code behind is:

            var UserRequests =  (from r in context.course_requests
                                where r.requestor_userid == access.username
                                orderby r.course_title
                                select new { r.request_id, 
                                            r.title}).ToList();
            MySavedRequestsListView.DataSource = UserRequests;
            MySavedRequestsListView.DataBind();

I am presented with a nice list of course titles, but what I want is for those titles to navigate to another page, using the request_id as the parameter. How can I incorporate the HyperLink class into this?

Answer 1

You can use a HyperLink

<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl="http://www.site.com/page.aspx?id=<%#Eval("request_id") %>" Text="<%#Eval("title") %>"  runat="server" />

or a simple <a> tag

<a href="http://www.site.com/page.aspx?id=<%#Eval("request_id") %>"> <%#Eval("title") %> </a>
