Send value of gridview row using hyperlink within it

Question

I am not able to sent the value of the MachineID to another page using the hyperlink in gridview.

<!-- <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FailedFiles" 
                SortExpression="NumFailedFilesOverSLA">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server"  Text='<%#Bind("NumFailedFilesOverSLA") %>'></asp:HyperLink>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>

I have tried putting

DataNavigateUrlFields="MachineID" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="GetFilesFailed.aspx?id={0}"

but dont know why this is not working??

Please suggest... thanks

Answer 1

If this doesn't work, then check that you are actually getting a value back from the DB for MachineID:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" Text='<%# Bind("NumFailedFilesOverSLA") %>' 
    runat="server" DataNavigateUrlFields="MachineID" 
        DataNavigateUrlFormatString="GetFilesFailed.aspx?id={0}">
</asp:HyperLink>

First, try to put the default gridview in the page and attach it to the data source, so you can test if there is data to display.

If you are assigning the data source from code behind don't forget to call the DataBind() method after that.

 <ItemTemplate>
 <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" 
 NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("Inventory_ID", "/default.aspx?ID={0}") %>'
                    Text="Details"></asp:HyperLink>
  </ItemTemplate>

This should solve your problem. This is exactly how I used it.
