I have the following code which generates an error in the URL param of "Identifier expected"

Can anyone see what is missing?

<object CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6" ID="MediaPlayer" type="application/x-oleobject" NAME="Player" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="300" hspace="0" vspace="0">
<param name="URL" value="http://www.mywebsite.org/VideoPage/Videos/<%=Request.QueryString["vID"]%>" />
<param NAME="AUTOSTART" VALUE="true"/> 
<param name="showControls" value="true"/>

<embed WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="300" align="center" hspace="10" SRC="http://www.mywebsite.org/VideoPage/Videos/<%=Request.QueryString["vID"]%>" TYPE="application/x-oleobject" AUTOSTART="true">
</embed>

 </object>

 <ItemTemplate >
<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("videoName") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# "Default.aspx?vID=" & Container.DataItem("vID") %>' /> </ItemTemplate>

 </asp:DataList>

 <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DatabaseConnectionString1 %>"
ProviderName="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DatabaseConnectionString1.ProviderName %>" SelectCommand="SELECT * FROM [Video] ORDER BY videoName">

 <SelectParameters>
<asp:QueryStringParameter Name="vID" QueryStringField="vID" Type="string" />
</SelectParameters>

 </asp:SqlDataSource>

 Hello,

are you sure you have a querystring. Which fields are stored in database for vzxsvideo table?

Kind Regards

ah..
it's a very commomn(Syntax) problem some time it takes too much time
but You can try with
<asp:DataList id="ProductsTable"
TRy ID <ID in caps> And
and try to maintan single space between the lines
 
You can also check variable names declared in ur cs file that they are not clashing with design controls

 The link to this page so far is

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" NavigateUrl="~/VideoPages/Default.aspx?vID=1" runat="server">HyperLink</asp:HyperLink>

The fields are vID, videoName and videoURL

Glancing at it I noticed an issue with double quotes.

For instance in the expressions:

< param name ="URL" value ="http://www.mywebsite.org/VideoPage/Videos/ <%=Request.QueryString["vID"]%> " />

and

< embed WIDTH ="320" HEIGHT "300" align ="center" hspace ="10" SRC ="http://www.mywebsite.org/VideoPage/Videos/ <%=Request.QueryString["vID"]%> " TYPE ="application/x-oleobject" AUTOSTART ="true">

in both a inner expression is using double quote as well.

Try instead:

< param name ="URL" value ='http://www.mywebsite.org/VideoPage/Videos/ <%=Request.QueryString["vID"]%> ' />

and

< embed WIDTH ="320" HEIGHT "300" align ="center" hspace ="10" SRC ='http://www.mywebsite.org/VideoPage/Videos/ <%=Request.QueryString["vID"]%> ' TYPE ="application/x-oleobject" AUTOSTART ="true">

Hi,

Please have a check on your page's language. I doubt that you are using VB.NET but the Request.QueryString() method is in C# format.

So, change the first param tag to the like below, which replaces the "[]" with "()", and have another try:

<param name="URL" value="http://www.mywebsite.org/VideoPage/Videos/<%=Request.QueryString("vID")%>" />

You got it!! Thank you for the lateral thinking!

I did program in VB.net and never noticed the [].

Thank you for answering!
