I have many asp controls inside the EditItemTemplate of a DataList. Many of these i assign values and text from a database using
Container.DataItem("<Inser
However one line is not placing in values correctly:
<asp:HyperLink id='hlOldLinkImage' NavigateUrl='/links/<%# Container.DataItem("LinkIm
runat='server' Text='<%# Container.DataItem("LinkIm
In this sample, the Text attribute works fine and shows the correct value, however the NavigateUrl does not. When i mouse over the hyperlink when viewing the page, in the status bar it shows...
http://localhost/links/<%#
...instead of the actual value for that particular data item.
What's goin on and how do i make this work?
Thank you

I've found that this works when I have no text before the <%# ... %>. ie:
NavigateUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.
NavigateUrl='/links/<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.
http://localhost/links/<%#
in the status bar, again not giving the value. So how do i make the navigateurl what i want when you can't add text (appearently) before the <%# ... %>?
Do not use an asp:hyperlink. I had that same problem and I just resorted to the old
<a href="<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.
I am not sure what the fix for the asp:hyperlink. I searched on google for a couple hours and came up with nothing. By all accounts it should work and give you the value. Maybe try adding a plus between them like so:
/links/+<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.
