HyperLinkField not executing code render block 1

[mais123]

I have a GridView where I use HyperlinkField. The thing is I need to encrypt the userID I put into the query string so I am trying to call code render Encrypt function to encrypt. But the problem is that Encrypt never gets executed. What is wrong:. Here is my code:

 <asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="Id"  DataNavigateUrlFormatString="EnterCustomer.aspx?CustomerID=<%= Encode({0}) %>"
                 DataTextField="CompanyName" HeaderText="Customer Name" Text="Name"   />

 <asp:HyperLinkField 
   NavigateUrl='<%="EnterCustomer.aspx?CustomerID="  + Encode(Eval("Id")) %>'
   DataTextField="CompanyName" 
   HeaderText="Customer Name" />

if that doesn't work use a template column with a hyperlink object and set the ItemDataBound event for the grid view, then set the navigate url property for each row. something like this

<asp:GridView ... OnRowDataBound="GridView_ItemDataBound">
   <Columns>
      <asp:TemplateColumn headertext="Company Name">
         <asp:Hyperlink id="Link" runat="server" />
      </asp:TemplateColumn>
   </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

protected void GridView_ItemDataBound(sender e, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
   if (e.Row.RowIndex > -1)
   {
      MyDataObject item = (MyDataObject)e.Row.DataItem;
      Hyperlink link = (Hyperlink)e.Row.FindControl("Link");
      link.NavigateUrl = "EnterCustomer.aspx?CustomerID="  + Encode(item.Id);
      link.Text = item.CompanyName;
   }
}
