asp.net 1.1 datagrid and DataNavigateUrlFormatString

[Guest]

All,

I am using a datagrid on a 1.1 .aspx page that has a hyperlink column. I am
using 'DataNavigateUrlFormatString' to set the URL to browse to once the user
clicks on the link i.e.

DataNavigateUrlFormatString="www.somedomain.com/link.aspx?id={0}"

What I would like to do is get the "www.somedomain.com" from my web.config
and concat the "/link.aspx?id={0}".

Can some tell me how I can code this please?

Thanks
Msuk

In the VS 2003 edit your web config;
<appSettings>

<add key="SomeDomain" value="www.somedomain.com"/>

</appSettings>

Then in the code use

DataNavigateUrlFormatString= ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["SomeDomain"]
+ "//link.aspx?id{0}";

that should work. You may or may not need the double forward slash. Also add
System.Configuration reference to a page that would use this.

Hi,

I got the following error:

Parser Error
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to
service this request. Please review the following specific parse error
details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Literal content ('<asp:HyperLinkColumn
DataNavigateUrlField="id"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString=ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["webRoot"] +
"//link.aspx?id={0}" DataTextField="name" HeaderText="Document">
</asp:HyperLinkColumn>') is not allowed within a
'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridColumnCollection'.

Source Error:


Line 131: <HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" ForeColor="White"
BackColor="#999999"></HeaderStyle>
Line 132: <Columns>
Line 133: <asp:HyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlField="id"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString=ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["webRoot"] +
"//showpdf.aspx?id={0}" DataTextField="name" HeaderText="Document">
Line 134:
Line 135: </asp:HyperLinkColumn>


I also tried with a single '/' and get the same message. I placed the
'Imports System.Configuration' in the code behind for the page is this
correct?
