Relative url returned in hyperlink field

[John]

Hi

In a bound grid view I have the following hyperlink field;

<asp:HyperLinkF ield
DataNavigateUrl Fields="FldDire ctions"
DataNavigateUrl FormatString="{ 0}"
HeaderText="Dir ections"
Target="_blank"
Text="Direction s">
<HeaderStyle ForeColor="Whit e" />
</asp:HyperLinkFi eld>

FldDirections is coming from the underlying source and provides a url such
as www.mydomain.com. Problem is clicking on this hyperlink brings the url
relative to were the site is running ie something like
http://localhost/Folder1/Folder2/www.mydomain.com. How can I just get the
value retuned by FldDirections i.e. www.mydomain.com?

Thanks

Regards

Re: Relative url returned in hyperlink field

Is it because you don't have a protocol prefix? Seems like the browser
doesn't figure out it's a domain.

What if you try something like this:

DataNavigateUrl FormatString="h ttp://{0}"

Thanks. Anyway to make it conditional i.e. if FldDirections returns the url
with http:// then it is shown as it is and if without http:// then http://
is appended?

Thanks again

Hi

best way to modify such issue is on itemdatabound event...
in item databound use findcontrol method of item and then re-write the
url property

Best of luck

Re: Relative url returned in hyperlink field

Hi
I forget to mention another easy way...
add a public method in your aspx page ...
and pass the item to format the string...

for example in code behind file add a method like this

public string GetFormatedURL( object arg)
{
string args = arg.ToString();

if (args.Contains( "http://"))
return args;
else
return "http://" + args;
}

and in aspx page use it like

<asp:TemplateFi eld HeaderText="Url " SortExpression= "value">
<ItemTemplate >
<asp:HyperLin k ID="HyperLink1 " runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<% # GetFormatedURL( Eval("value") ) %>' Target="_blank"
Text='<%# Eval("value") %>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateFie ld>

Best of luck
