Passing multiple values in querystring

[bassguy]

Hello all, I have used ASP Classic for many years but am new to asp.net and cannot figure out what should be a relatively simple problem. I am hopefull you can help.

I have a datagrid bound to a dataset.
I have the first column as a hyperlink column showing the Department name and using DataNavigateUrlField passing the department ID to the next web page. This works fine in that I get a link like this:

webform2.aspx?pk_Department=3


I would like to pass the Department name along with the ID to the next page to give me the following link:


webform2.aspx?pk_Department=3&department=Finance


Is there a way to have more than one parameter in the querystring?

Is there a better way to get data from one page to another in asp.net?

any help would be appreciated

the only thing I can think of is using a server side method such as:

<% buildURL(Container.DataItem(&quot;field1&quot;), Container.DataItem(&quot;field2&quot;)) %>

buildURL could build the URL for you and return the string or have it actually set the hyperlink navigateurl, rather than datanavigateurlfield.
