Weird DataBinder problem....

[sj1187534]

Hi...Can anyone tell me whats wroing with this part of the code???

 

<asp:HyperLink Runat="server"

Text='<%#DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"name")%>'

NavigateUrl='Profile.aspx?id=<%#DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem,"idNum")%>'>

</asp:HyperLink>

 

the first part, i.e. the column text is showing correctly but the id of the profile in the second set of the asp tags is not coming??? whatever is in the

 

<%#DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem,"idNum")%>

 

is showing as a string in the link along with the asp tags!!!

 

 

Thanks,

SJ

You can either try having the Eval format the whole URL or try to not use the DataBinder.Eval at all since this string doesnt need any real type of formatting. I try to use DataBinder sparingly since it is late binding, unless i really need to do some formatting.

I don't know if this will make a difference at all, but there is a

space after the "Eval" in the second code block, so it should be:

<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"idNum") %>

 

Also make sure that you have the correct column name and

capitalization for idNum.
