Use:

DavaNavigateUrlFormatString='<%# ... %>'

There are some good FAQs you might want to check out on HyperLinkColumns
under the Hyperlinks section at: http://datawebcontrols.com/faqs/

Happy programming!

That only seems to work for a container field
I need something like this:

<asp:HyperLinkColumn
Text="View"
DataNavigateUrlField="field1"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="<%=
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("myvalue") %>"
/>
