Re: Hyperlink Eval Statement Problem

[Wayne Wengert]

I saw that the process of inserting that link had wrapped the targeturl
within 2 sets of "<%#..%>" and I rmoved the outer set so it now is:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%#
Eval("CategoryID", @"Docs.aspx?categoryid={0}") %>'

Text='<%# Eval("CategoryName") %>'></asp:HyperLink>

but I still get the "Character is not valid" error?

If you're using C#, verify that you have a language attribute of C# in the
@Page directive. If you're not using C#, remove the "@" from in from of
your "Docs.aspx....".

Thanks - I am using VB and removing the seems to have fixed it. It appears
that the whitepaper code sample for setting the hyperlink was for C#
