  Is it possible to have a HyperLinkField inside a TemplateField ?

  Feb 28, 2013 09:05 AM|LINK

  Hi all

  I have a gridview with the following TemplateField:

  <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="title">
     <ItemTemplate>
        <asp:HyperLink ID="lbl1" runat="server" Visible='<%# IIf(IsDBNull(Eval("desc")), true, false) %>' NavigateUrl="test.aspx" Target="_blank">Not Agreed</asp:HyperLink>
        <asp:HyperLink ID="lbl2" runat="server" Visible='<%# IIf(IsDBNull(Eval("desc")), false, true) %>' NavigateUrl="test.aspx" Target="_blank">Agreed</asp:HyperLink>
     </ItemTemplate>
  </asp:TemplateField>

  This works greate, however I now need to pass paramenters as a queryString to these page links.  The only way I know how to do this is:

   <asp:HyperLinkField 
          Visible='<%# IIf(IsDBNull(Eval("desc")), true, false) %>' 
          DataNavigateUrlFields="IDNo" 
          DataNavigateUrlFormatString="test?IDNo={0}" 
          Target="_blank"
          Text="Not Agreed" />   

  But I am getting a databinding error.  In my mind I need the TemplateField as I require the column header, and the link to appear along with the 'IsDBNull' visible

  I'd be very grateful for any suggestions to how to overcome this?

  Thanks guys, I've applied what you've suggested:

  <asp:HyperLink ID="lblAgreed" runat="server" Visible='<%# IIf(IsDBNull(Eval("DESC")), false, true) %>' NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("IDNo", "test?IDNo={0}") %>' Target="_blank">Agreed</asp:HyperLink>

  but getting page not found - have I missed something?

  (page along with query are correct)

  NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("IDNo", "test?IDNo={0}") %>'

  NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("IDNo", "test.aspx?IDNo={0}") %>'

  Bold text : It should aspx page name ideally

  sorry to go on, is it possible to pass more than 1 parameter, in this way?

  NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("IDNo", "test.aspx?IDNo={0}&Sum={1}") %>'

  Thank you so, so much is there a limit to the number of parameter you can pass, or this browser dependent?
