Asp:HyperLink Question

[mj616]

Can anyone explain to me why this won't work.

.aspx
<asp:Hyperlink NavigateURL= "<%# appLocation %>" runat='server' id='link'>text</asp:hyperlink>

codebehind
public appLocation = "server.whatever";

Why doesn't my NavigateUrl get filled with the value?

Thanks for the info.

MJ

You should try setting the value in the code behind file. e.g.

public appLocation = "server.whatever";
link.NavigateURL = appLocation;

That is what I am doing now. However I have about 20 or so links and images on pages. So it would be easier to do it with the bind expression <%# %> than in code.

The reason this is needing to be done to images and links is for different enviroments this web app is going to be setup on, I.E. dev, test, prod.
