trying to pass a parameter...help! 4

[koolage]

I’m trying to pass a parameter to a navigation url in a hyperlink on a web grid…



Here’s the scenario…



Grid has a hyperlink field:



Field name is : ordernumber

Actual data may be: 1060658



This link sends the user to

http://websitename....com

I want to pass the field name, ordernumber as a parameter along with the url…

http://websitename....com?1060658

But, I can’t figure out how to do this in the field property window of the grid. Any suggestions?


thanks in advance,

You need to do it in code. In the ItemDataBound event of the grid, you need to get a reference to the hyperlink, then change the property:

HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = "Your String Here"

This is the query string:

http://websitename...com?a_name_needed=1060658

Then get it: request.querystring("a_name_needed")

For more than one queries (apart from the 1st) use the "&" to seperate. Always: a_custom_variable_name=any_value

Tip.. It seems the poster knows how to construct and get the parameters from a querystring. I belive they question is how to add it to a hyperlink in a grid in design mode.

You can use a HyperLinkField in a gridview and use the DataNavigateUrlFormatString to add parameters from your DataSource e.g.

thanks for the tips… but I can’t, for the life of me, figure our how to do this.

All I would like to do is place the orderno on the end of the redirect: I can’t find an ITEM DATABOUND EVENT and I can’t find a way to reference the grid’s hyperlink field through code…. I can do a re-direct from the WhseBLRedirect.aspx page, if I can get the orderno appended to it! ?? Thanks!

place a hyperlink in your grid..

html fo HL

<asp:HyperLink id=YourHL runat="server" Width="48px" NavigateUrl="" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.YourFieldName") %>'>
</asp:HyperLink>

now on your itemdatabound of your grid..

Private Sub dgEditPO_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles dgEditPO.ItemDataBound

Dim DG As DataGrid = CType(sender, DataGrid)
Dim Item As DataGridItem = e.Item
Dim Lnk As HyperLink
Dim Key As Integer

If Item.ItemIndex > -1 Then
Lnk = CType(Item.FindControl("YourHL"), HyperLink)
Key = CInt(DG.DataKeys.Item(Item.ItemIndex))
Lnk.NavigateUrl = "YourPage.aspx?No=" & Key
End If


you can make changes as you need to..
