Stupid ASP Question

[Earl Damron]

At least I feel stupid anyway.

I have a template column in a DataGrid that I want to be a hyperlink.

When I build the NavigateUrl portion of the asp:HyperLink element, I have
this:

NavigateUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.DemoNumber",
"Patient.aspx?DemoNbr={0}") %>'>

My link turns out great at run-time and looks like:

NavigateUrl=Patient.aspx?DemoNbr=12345

My question is, can't the NavigateUrl be built in two parts? Something like

NavigateUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.DemoNumber",
"Patient.aspx?DemoNbr={0}") %>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.ChartNumber", "&ChartNbr={0}") %>'>

(both of the above lines are together in the actual code)

The goal would be for the link to look like

NavigateUrl=Patient.aspx?DemoNbr=12345&ChartNbr=54321

Every time I run it this way, I get:

Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'ToString' accepts this
number of arguments

If you can, please bail this idiot out before it gets any later!

Thanks

I guess I occasionally get lucky after all.

I needed to change my ASP code to look like:

NavigateUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.DemoNumber",

"Patient.aspx?DemoNbr={0}") + DataBinder.Eval(Container,

"DataItem.ChartNumber", "&ChartNbr={0}") %>'>

In your code behind creat a sub procedure called
sub createLink ( e1 as object ...)

i our aspx page put in the column <%# createlink(dataite
("xx"),....) %> etc

and in the sub procedure build your output link

return "xxx.aspx?d=" & e1.tostring ....

Does this make sense? it works for me!
