Hello everyone and thaks for your help in advance. I am working with a
datagrid in which I want to create a hyperlink with text Last Nmae, First
Name with the text being the individuals last name and first name
separated by a comma. I ave used the DataTextField prpperty to
successfuly bind one column to the text, but cannot seem to get it to
handle more than one column. I have tried:
DataTextField="<%# Container.DataItem("LastName") & Container.DataItem
("FirstName") %>"
but this gives me an error. Ant help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Maybe try
DataTextField = "<%# Container.DataItem("LastName") %>"
DataTextField += "<%# Container.DataItem("FirstName") %>"
Not sure if it will work though...

The Container.DataItem throws off an error message. It only seems to
allow the colmun name.

Hi Hugh,
I had this same problem before. There isn't a way to bind more than one
DataColumn to the DataTextField or DataValueField. The way I got around
it was to let the actual SQL statement do the concatenation for me.
string strSQL = "SELECT FirstName + ' ' + LastName AS Name, LastName
FROM Employees";
