Hello,

I have been tring to get this datagrid with a hyperlink in the column to work with 2 parameters, but I keep getting a parser error.
System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridColumnCollection must have items of type 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridColumn'. 'TemplateColumn' is of type 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlGenericControl'

Here is my code below, any ideas of what is causing this?

<asp:DataGrid ID="ProcDataGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="false" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="ProcDataGrid_ItemDataBound" Width="191px">
    <Columns>
    <TemplateColumn>
    <ItemTemplate>
       <asp:HyperLink Runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%#_
          "ProcessDetail.aspx?ProcName=" & Container.DataItem("ProcName") & _
          "&isInDictionary=" & Container.DataItem("isInDictionary") %>' >
    </ItemTemplate>
</TemplateColumn>
</Columns>

You need to show your code behind for us to help with this error

Here is my code behind. Hope this will shed some light. The values I want to use as parameters are ProcName and IsInDictionary. I have a DataGrid which binds to a list of processes, some of which are in the process dictionary and some are not. I want to send to my details page both the name of the process and weather or not it is currently in the dictionary. Thanks a lot for your help.


            dictitems = getDictionaryProcs();
            ArrayList someprocs = new ArrayList();
            // 2. Using an IP address to specify the machineName parameter.
            //Process[] ipByName = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad", "169.0.0.0");
            DataTable dt = new DataTable();

            // Get all processes running on the local computer.
            Process[] localAll = Process.GetProcesses();


            for (int i = 0; i < localAll.GetLength(0); i++)
            {
                myProcesses mp = new myProcesses(localAll[i]);
                someprocs.Add(mp);
            }

            ProcDataGrid.DataSource = someprocs;
            ProcDataGrid.DataBind();
            ProcDataGrid.Visible = true;

public class myProcesses
    {
        private Process myproc;
        private string procname;
        private bool inDictionary;


        public myProcesses(Process proc)
        {
            this.myproc = proc;
            this.procname = proc.ProcessName;

        }

        public Process MyProc { get { return myproc; } }
        public string ProcName { get { return procname; } }
        public bool isInDictionary
        {
            get
            {
                return inDictionary;
            }
            set
            {
                inDictionary = value;
            }

        }


    }

Try this:
The bolded items are what you were missing.

Thanks for your help, but for some reason im still getting some syntax errors dealing with my code at the top of the aspx page
when I added your code. It seems to have something to do with these <% type tags. Sorry Im pretty new to asp.

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ProcessDictionary.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

If you are creating pages without the help of VS, then you will probably run into many syntax problems. Do you have visual studio available to use to create your pages?

oh yeah Im using VS 2005

What is the error and at what line?

Error 1 Cannot switch views: Validation (ASP.Net): Attribute 'runat' can be specified only once in a tag. W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 24 139 Miscellaneous Files
Error 3 ) expected W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 1 1 Miscellaneous Files
Error 4 ; expected W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 1 1 Miscellaneous Files
Error 5 ; expected W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 1 1 Miscellaneous Files
Error 6 ; expected W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 1 1 Miscellaneous Files
Error 7 Invalid expression term ',' W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 1 1 Miscellaneous Files
Error 8 ; expected W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 1 1 Miscellaneous Files
Error 9 ; expected W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 1 1 Miscellaneous Files
Error 10 Invalid expression term ')' W:\ProcessDictionary.aspx 1 1 Miscellaneous Files

MOst of these are coming from line 1, which is
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="ProcessDictionary.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

that is your problem...
