Hey guys, I am using BoundColumn and HyperlinkColumns to create a datagrid.

I have two bound Columns that provides me two values.

I am trying to pass those two values to the Hyperlinkcolumn to pass it as a querystring into a model window.

Code:

 For i = 0 To myDataSet.Tables(0).Columns.Count - 1

                 Dim dgColumn As New BoundColumn

                 Select Case myDataSet.Tables(0).Columns(i).ColumnName

                     Case "id"
                         dgColumn.HeaderText = "Id"
                         dgColumn.DataField = myDataSet.Tables(0).Columns(i).ColumnName
                         dgWorkflow.Columns.Add(dgColumn)

                     Case "name"
                         dgColumn.HeaderText = "Name"
                         dgColumn.DataField = myDataSet.Tables(0).Columns(i).ColumnName
                         dgWorkflow.Columns.Add(dgColumn)

                 End Select
Next

Dim dgHColumn As New HyperlinkColumn
dgHColumn.Text = "View"
dgHColumn.NavigateUrl = "Javascript: alert('value1/value2')

How can i have each value in in row to be passed into the link.

Thanks,

To simply put, I want a third column in the datagrid that willt ake the values of the ID and Name and pass as a querystring.

Any help will be appreciated.

I understand that Mart.

My problem is I have to write it programatically, and I am having extreme problems. I do have HTML view option on what I am writing on. Everything is straight code behind. Is it possible you can show me a simple example on how to do that code behind.

Thanks again,

I appologize not explaining it right the first time. I should be shot.

I understand using the function.

My thing is, I am doing everything code behind. I simply don't have an optioin use the HTML View to add do the following.

<asp:TemplateColumn>
     <ItemTemplate>
         <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "id") %>
         <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "name") %>
     </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

I have to actually write the whole thing in the code behind and populate it in to the datagrid. Again no access to HTML view for me to insert ASP controls. All Controls are beng generated from code behind.

I need to do the following and what I marked in red is giving me an error saying dataitem is not a member of "System.ComponentModel.Container". If I use a # sign then it says expression expected.

Dim myCol as New TemplateColumn
myCol.ItemTemplate = GetLink(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "id"),DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "name"))

Public Function GetLink(ByVal ID As Integer, ByVal Name As String) As String
     Return String.Format("mypage.aspx?ID={0}&Name={1}", ID, Name)
End Function

This gets solved, my biggest headch is over. Becasue of this problem I had to change my code to old ASP style and loop through each record, formating it into a table and then assigning it into a label. Lets not forget finding a rope next to me and hanging myself doing it in that manner rather an simply doing it with a dg.

What I understand is I have to Use ITemplate to get this working if I am going to do this programmatically...

I can't find any proper VB reference on ITemplate to get it going. Not even a simple example...

I have been trying to find some where in the web where people might have an simple working example. Can't find it any where.

Does any one have any ideas or know how to work it and can tell me what I should do with a templace column programmatically.

Thanks,
