Hyperlinks Inside DataList, GridView or DataGrid Control
published on 6/12/2008 1:55:03 PM

Sometimes we need to get some id from the database table and use that id to generate the link. Something like this:
SomePage.aspx?id=34
You can easily do this by using the following code:

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="myHyperlink"
 Text='<%# Eval("CategoryName") %>'
 NavigateUrl='<%# FormatUrl( (int) Eval("CategoryID")) %>'
 runat="server">[myHyperlink]</asp:HyperLink>
       </ItemTemplate>

And here is the FormatUrl method:

 protected string FormatUrl(int categoryID)
    {
        return "SomePage.aspx?" + categoryID;
    }

This will create links inside the DataList control. You can try similar approach using Datagrid or GridView controls.
