What I am trying to do is pass a the parameter to a method using the Eval() inside of a hyperlink inside the itemtemplate of a repeater.  I keep getting errors no matter what I try.  This seems like it can be done fairly easy, but I am stuck on it.  What parameters does my method need?

<asp:Repeater ID="_repComments" runat="Server">

<ItemTemplate>

Do I need an object parameter or something? 

Hi,

the signature of the OnClick eventhandler of a LinkButton control's (object sender, EventArgs e). The way you're trying to do it can't be done since that signature doesn't match.

You should however be able to handle this in the ItemCommand eventhandler of the Repeater control itself like this: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.repeater.itemcommand.aspx.

Grz, Kris.

Can you override the method to take the value from the Eval()?  That would be exactly what I am looking for, but that doesn't seem to work either.  Any other ideas?

Hi, can you please try this?

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" onClick='OnDeleteComment(Int.Parse(Eval("ID").ToString() ) )' >Delete</asp:LinkButton>

if this does not work try changing your function to this

public static void OnDeleteComment(int commentid)
{
...
}

Right direction method just can't be static since I have to call an external method from a base page I have.  Any other ideas?

Hi bcanonica,

Try this.

aspx Page

CommandArgument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ID") %>'

Text="Delete">

</asp:LinkButton>

Really close it works, but for some reason when I run the application if gives me back the wrong parameter to the method?  I have the functionality I am looking for just need to remedy why the command arguement is passing the wrong value.  the value is sent correctly when I use a querystring, so I know my sql is correct.  Thank you so much I have been trying to get this one for weeks.
