DataGrid <asp:hyperlink>

[onedizzydevil]

By using a datagrid I created a list of records, in order to get more information about a record you need to click on the record title. How can I create a hyperlinked record title that has the record unique identifier (in this case gid) as part of the hyperlink (i.e. test.aspx?gid=1234). Below I have pasted in some code that found on several other websites but it does not seem to work, how is {0} suppose to do anything where it is at. I know this is suppose to represent the ordinal number of the column from the database and it does if it where to actually work but the only thing that gets past is {0}. Additionally, I have tryed putting in '[tt]NavigateUrl=&quot;test.aspx?gid=<%# Container.DataItem(&quot;gid&quot%>&quot;[/tt]' and '[tt]NavigateUrl=&quot;test.aspx?gid=&quot; & <%# Container.DataItem(&quot;gid&quot%>&quot;[/tt]' but neither work. I do have the datakeyfield set to gid if that can be used.

Any ideas?

//sample code received from serveral websites//
<asp:TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl=&quot;test.aspx?gid={0}&quot;><%# Container.DataItem(&quot;label&quot%></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>


Thanks!

Hey Wayne,

Well, you could do this:
Have your hyperlink button column say Select or some token thing. When they click it, in the DataGrid.ItemCommand sub, grab the gid from the e.Item.Cell(indexofcell), and then jsut do a Response.Redirect(&quot;test.aspx?gid=&quot; & gid-value)

Not sure if the e.Item.Cell() is the write syntax, but you get the idea: go through the collections of the selected item until you can drill down to the GID value.
