How do I a template field dropdown value into the datanavigateurlformatstring

How would I get the value of a templatefield dropdown into the datanavigateurlstring property within a gridview edit columns using vs2005

I am using the following

Datanavigateurlfields = job_no,Column[6]

Datanavigateurlformatstring = savetime.aspx?job_no={0}&start travel={1}

job_no gets the value but I can get the start_travel value from the dropdown list in column6

This is using the gridview tasks option in vs and not programatically

the Datanavigateurlfields property accepts the datafield/dataitem values, not a specific column value.

But it accepts the job_no bounditem column as a column value, but not the templatefields coulum

Dustin Hopkins

what dataitem is the ddl in column[6] bound to?

Dustin Hopkins

If you could post the code for your gridview, that would help...

Thanks,
