Hi;

I am trying to link to another page through the RowDataBind event like so :

Dim tempUID As String = Session("UID")

Dim holdHLnk As HyperLink = New HyperLink

    holdHLnk = TryCast(e.Row.FindControl("HyperLink1"), HyperLink)

If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then

           If tempUID = "aaaaaaa" Then

           Else

            End If

End If

End Sub

I get a error message when I click on the hyperlink button in the gridview.

    Input string was not in a correct format.

 I tried stepping through the code but every thing looks ok.

As far as my web page code goes here is the template column for the hyperlink :

font-family: Verdana" PageSize="20">

<Columns>

<asp:TemplateField>

<ItemTemplate>

     </asp:HyperLink>

</ItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateField>

 Thanks for any insights !

 when you step through the code do you see a value being assigned to ID? where have you assigned it?

you'd need something like this, right? : e.Row.Cells(yourIndex).Text etc

Thanks

Yes, the ID is a part of the link.

 In which statement would I need to include this ?

In here ?   holdHLnk.NavigateUrl = String.Format("SpecialPage.aspx?ID={0}", ID) 

There is a DataNavigateUrlFields to pass in the web page version  

<asp:HyperLinkField NavigateUrl="Tasks_Input.aspx" DataNavigateUrlFields="ID" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Tasks_Input.aspx?ID={0}" Text="Update" />

but I thought that this was the ID in the String.Format(xxxxx, ID) ?

I did not notice a DataNavigateUrlFields property in the Hyperlink Class

Could you clarify this for me ?

I did find this other message with the same issue except he isn't passing a parm.

<Hyperlink>, OnClick event, and changing the NavigateUri

I think that they are using a link button but mine should work with just the hyperLink control.

Dim ID As String = e.Row.Cells(yourDatabaseIDColumnhere).Text

put this before you do this: If tempUID = "aaaaaaa" Then

 for the other query you had...I found an example for you

Hi GMann,

Try this:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" Text="Update"></asp:HyperLink>

Then handle RowDataBound event of GridView:

Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs)
    If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
        Dim hl As HyperLink = DirectCast(e.Row.FindControl("HyperLink1"), HyperLink)
        If Session("UID").ToString() = "aaaaaaa" Then
            hl.NavigateUrl = "SpecialPage.aspx?ID=" & DirectCast(e.Row.DataItem, DataRowView)("ID").ToString()
        Else
            hl.NavigateUrl = "InputPage.aspx?id=" & DirectCast(e.Row.DataItem, DataRowView)("ID").ToString()
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Thanks,
