DataGrid and Linking

jackiew · May 1st, 2006, 03:06 PM

I have a DataGrid that I want to link the person's name (one of the columns) to another page with their info. As there is no OnClick event in a DataBoundColumn, what is the best way to do this?

I don't want the actual code, just pointed in the right direction, I learn better that way.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I've discovered DataNavigateURL and have got it so close to working!

My code is:

Code:

<asp:HyperLinkColumn HeaderText="Name" Text="Name"
NavigateURL="view.aspx?Name={Name1}" DataNavigateUrlField="Name"
sortExpression="Name" ItemStyle-Wrap="false" />

And the Sub Name1 is

Code:

Sub Name1(s As Object, e As DataGridCommandEventArgs)
Response.Redirect("http://intranet/HomelinkApparel/Admin/
view.aspx?Name='" & Name & "'")
End Sub

and my DataGrid row shows:

[u]Name</u> 4486 1 AdultT Purple M

When you put your cursor over the 'Name' you will get the persons name with the almost complete URL.
I'm missing the actual page, the rest is there.
As in: "http://www.here.com/admin/JaneDoe" instead of "http://www.here.com/admin/view.aspx?JaneDoe"

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
