Help on binding syntax ??

[Guest]

Dear all,

I have the following item on my form :

<asp:HyperLink id="lblEvtNb" runat="server"
NavigateUrl="Event.aspx?id=">Click here</asp:HyperLink>

I need to pass as url parameter an Id which is a label.Text string of my form
At the end the url should be : "Event.aspx?Id=32"

I try to do the following:
<asp:HyperLink id="lblEvtNb" runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<%#"Event.aspx?id=" & lblReelId.Text %>'>Click
here</asp:HyperLink>

When running my code, no hyperlink is created, what I am doing wrong ?
I have try also to access the parameter through a property, but same results

Thnaks for your help
regards
serge

the binding syntax %# is use specifically when databinding specific controls
(checkboxlist, dropdownlist, repeater, datalist, datagrid, ...) via the
DataBind() method.

From the sound of it, you simply want to dynamically set the property of a
control. I assume you want this to happen after a some type of postback - I
mean, initially, there won't be a value inthe textbox

if Page.IsPostBack then
lblEvtNb.NavigateUrl = string.Format("Event.aspx?id={0}",
lblReelId.Text")
end if

you probably never called the databind method of the control.
