passing values from datagrid link to another page

[mikemardon]

Hi there

I have a file upload hyperlink which is in the last column of my datagrid and I need to find out how to pass the corresponding stockID value (stored in the databound collection) to another page when the user clicks on it.

I am guessing that I need to do this in the HTML code but not sure how to go about it!

here is my current code for this link :

<asp:HyperLink id="HyperLink1" runat="server" Font-Size="XX-Small">upload spec</asp:HyperLink>

It does not have an onclick event but I guess I could add on using attributed.add?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks!

Try using a HyperLinkColumn instead

thanks for the guidance, however, when I set the URL Field to the corresponding field containing the URL I cannot click on the hyperlink!

If I right-click and choose 'save as' it works though!

Any ideas?

Thanks again

What URL has been generated for the link?

it shows as file:///c:/SpecSheets/text.txt

Looks as though you are not setting the URL correctly then if it's pointing to a file rather than a URL.

it is supposed to point to this file!

like I said, it works fine if I r/c then choose save as!

I don't understand. Why would you want to create a Hyperlink that points to a file on the user's machine?

I just had it located there for testing, I have now moved it to a proper URl and it now works when I click on it, but there is not a prompt to save the file, it just displays the contents on screen.

I know I have to change the manner in which the file is interpreted by the browser but not sure how - any idea?

Thanks again
