embedding <a href > tag in DataGrid

[Guest]

Hello,

I'm new to ASP.NET but have done quite a bit of classic ASP. I need to
drill down to another page from the DataGrid using a record's ID. In classic
ASP, this was quite easy but I can't find anything equivalent in ASP.NET.

For example, I need to go from a page that lists Customers to a page for
CustomerDetails by allowing the user to click anywhere on the row of the
DataGrid.

I've read about using a TemplateColumn and a lable but it doesn't look like
the same functionality. Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,

ASP.NET Newbie

Hi newbie

<aspataGrid ID="dg" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<Columns>
<asp:HyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlField="ProductID"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="details.aspx?id={0}"
Text="More Details"></asp:HyperLinkColumn>
</Columns>
</aspataGrid><asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource1" runat="server"
ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:NorthwindConnectionString1 %>"
SelectCommand="SELECT [ProductID], [ProductName], [SupplierID],
[CategoryID], [QuantityPerUnit] FROM [Alphabetical list of products]">
</asp:SqlDataSource>

That code uses the version 2 datasource control but its the hyperlinkColumn
that you are intrested in.


Let me know if it helped you or not...
