URL format string based on 2 data columns?

[jib]

Hiya,

I have a data grid with one column being a "hyperlink column". I want to use
this column to jump to another aspx page based on two different column
values from the underlying dataset. Setting up a hyperlink based on a single
column is simple:

URL field: VariableA
URL format string: MyPage.aspx?Var iableA={0}

Now how would I do this with two variables? The following doesnt work:

URL field: VariableA, VariableB
URL format string: MyPage.aspx?Var iableA={0}?Vari ableB={1}


Ideas anyone?

Try something like this:

<asp:TemplateCo lumn HeaderText="Edi t">
<ItemStyle Width="180px" />
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:HyperLin k ID=hlEdit Runat=server NavigateUrl='<% #
"MyPage.aspx?Va riableA=
+ DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, VariableA")
+ "&VariableB ="
+ DataBinder.Eval (Container.Data Item, VariableB")
%>'>Edit</asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateCol umn>
