Passing parameter from one page to another

I am trying to transger the ID field value of the SELECTED row (in the datagrid GRIDVIEWMEETINGS) which is
<asp:HyperLinkField HeaderText="ATTENDEES" NavigateUrl="attendees_list.aspx" Target="_parent" Text="VIEW" datanavigateurlfields="ID" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="attendees_list.aspx?ID={0}"/>

The destination page is not receiving the Parameter "ID" from the source page - selected row.

On the destination page, If I manually put the ID in, I get the expected results - so, I feel that I am not passing the parameter in the proper way.

I've not looked too closley but I recon you need to BIND the id rather the simply state it something like...

<asp:HyperLinkField HeaderText="ATTENDEES" NavigateUrl="attendees_list.aspx" Target="_parent"
                Text="VIEW" datanavigateurlfields='<%# Bind("id") %>' DataNavigateUrlFormatString="attendees_list.aspx?ID={0}"/>

ethoths,

Applying your recommendation yields the below error when I open the page - it compiles but errors out when I run it...

The HyperLinkField control with a two-way databinding to field id must have an ID.

Put an ID on the hyperlink! id="AnythingThatIsUniqueWillDo"

ASP.Net often complains that some controls dont have an ID even though you don't actually need to refer to the control yourself. It's jus one of the ASP.Net things.

The ASP:HYPERLINKFIELD control does not have a property of ID....I cannot get it to compile with the ID property in the HYPERLINKFIELD control...

Ok - I made progress...  I had to convert the field (HYPERLINK) into a template field and was able to assign an ID - but, I still have the same problem...  It seems like the parameter isn't either being picked up by the destination page (ATTENDEES) or the source page is not sending it...

How would I go about finding out where the breakdown is happening?
