Passing parameter in Hyperlink

[SJ]

I want to pass a value in the NavigateURL property of the asp.HYPERLINK tag.
right now i'm using something like this :

asp:hyperlink id="Details" ImageUrl="images/btn.gif"
NavigateUrl='details.aspx?id=<%=p.mystring%>'

But it doesnt evaluate the <%=p.mystring%> into the actual value it
contains.
I'm sure theres a simple syntax to fix this. Any ideas?

Thanks.

If you are assigning to a string from the code behind file you could do
something like

string.Format("details.aspx?id={0}", p.mystring);

It puts the value of p.mystring where the {0} is, you can use this to
create complex strings like details.aspx?id=5&otherdata=helloworld by
just adding more {0}{1}{2} type notation and pass in more variables.

Hope this helps,

Thanks, thats a good tip, but I need to do this within the aspx page and not
in the codebehind.

Change it as follows:

<ASP:HYPERLINK id="Details" ImageUrl="images/btn.gif"
NavigateUrl='details.aspx?id=<%# p.mystring %>'>

That is, replace the <%= with <%#
