Problem with quote in Datagrid

[Francois Soucy]

Hi,
I've the following code in a Datagrid template column. The code work very
well but I cannot acces anymore to the design mode. VStudio.net tell me that
I must have Quote arround <% %> tag. They are there.. I've try many thing
but no more design mode. Someone can tell me more?


<ItemTemplate>
<a href=javascriptopup(
'ShowPhoto.aspx?Id=<%#Container.DataItem("Kid")%>' )>
<img border="0" src='<%#Container.DataItem("TnPath")%>'>
</a>
</ItemTemplate>


Thank,
Francois

Hi Francois,

As for the problem you mentioned, it is a known behavior of the vs.net's
HTML EDITOR, it'll popup warning when there is nesting quotes. And here are
some means to work through it:

1. Using the ' at the top level and using " in the nested expressions.
For example:

<a href='javascriptopup("ShowPhoto.aspx?Id=<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"name") %>");'><img border="0" src='#'>
</a>

2. Also, since we can use serverside language(VB.NET or c#) to generate
the expression, the System.Convert.ToChar(int32) may help us to output the
quote mark in page template. For exampe:

<a href='<%# "javascriptopup(" + Convert.ToChar(34) +
"ShowPhoto.aspx?Id=" + DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"name") +
Convert.ToChar(34) + ");" %>'>
<img border="0" src="#"></a>

BTW, if you're using C# , you can simplely using the \" to represent
string in expression, such as :

<div onclick='<%# "alert(\"" + DataBinder.Eval(....) + "\");" %>' ...>

Hope helps. If you have any other questions or ideas, please feel free to
post here. Thanks.
