GridView Hyperlink field

Morris Neuman

Hi,

I have a GrideView which is bound to a datasourcecontrol. One of the
columns is a HyperLink to another web page passing it parameters. This
Hyperlink does not show as a hyperlink when viewing the grid. I have this
working on other pages but cannot get this to work. Don't know what I have
coded incorrectly. Please help.

Below is the definition of the GridView with the HyperLink field.

    <asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AllowPaging="True"
AllowSorting="True"
        AutoGenerateColumns="False"
        DataKeyNames="Account,MessageID,SpeechFileID,VOXDIR"
DataSourceID="AccessDataSource1"
        Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt" BorderColor="#FFC080"
        BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" Width="579px" CellPadding="5"
        CellSpacing="1" ForeColor="Navy" >
        <Columns>
            <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" EditText="Edit Status" >
                <ControlStyle Font-Bold="False" ForeColor="DarkSlateGray" />
                <HeaderStyle BackColor="Lavender" />
                <ItemStyle BackColor="Lavender" BorderColor="SlateGray"
BorderStyle="Inset" BorderWidth="2px" />
            </asp:CommandField>

            <asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="SpeechFileID,VOXDIR"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="EmailMsg2.aspx?SpeechFileID{0}&VOXDIR{1}"
                Text="Email Message2 via HLink" >
            </asp:HyperLinkField>

        </Columns>
        <RowStyle BackColor="BlanchedAlmond" />
        <EmptyDataTemplate>
            No messages for selected mailbox
        </EmptyDataTemplate>
        <HeaderStyle BorderColor="#FFC080" Font-Bold="False"
BackColor="#FFC080" />
        <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="SeaShell" />
        <PagerSettings Mode="NumericFirstLast" Position="TopAndBottom" />
    </asp:GridView>

Hi Morris,

As for the GridView Hyperlink column, I've performed some local test via
the page source you provided. I use a self generated DataTable as
datasource and remain the other Gridview column setting unchanged. It seems
the hyperlink can display correctly:

Here is the completely test page(aspx and codebehind), you can directly run
them in a test page on your side and compare with the problem page:

==============================
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AllowPaging="True"
AllowSorting="True"
        AutoGenerateColumns="False"
        DataKeyNames="SpeechFileID,VOXDIR"

        Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="8pt" BorderColor="#FFC080"
        BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" Width="579px" CellPadding="5"
        CellSpacing="1" ForeColor="Navy" >
        <Columns>
            <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" EditText="Edit Status" >
                <ControlStyle Font-Bold="False" ForeColor="DarkSlateGray" />
                <HeaderStyle BackColor="Lavender" />
                <ItemStyle BackColor="Lavender" BorderColor="SlateGray"
BorderStyle="Inset" BorderWidth="2px" />
            </asp:CommandField>

            <asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="SpeechFileID,VOXDIR"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="EmailMsg2.aspx?SpeechFileID{0}&VOXDIR{1}"
                Text="Email Message2 via HLink" >
            </asp:HyperLinkField>

        </Columns>
        <RowStyle BackColor="BlanchedAlmond" />
        <EmptyDataTemplate>
            No messages for selected mailbox
        </EmptyDataTemplate>
        <HeaderStyle BorderColor="#FFC080" Font-Bold="False"
BackColor="#FFC080" />
        <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="SeaShell" />
        <PagerSettings Mode="NumericFirstLast" Position="TopAndBottom" />
    </asp:GridView>

    </div>
    </form>
</body>
=============================

===============code behind============
public partial class DataTestPage : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!IsPostBack)
            {
                Bind_Test_Data();
            }
        }

        void Bind_Test_Data()
        {
            DataTable dt = new DataTable("TestTable");

            dt.Columns.Add("SpeechFileID");
            dt.Columns.Add("VOXDIR");

            for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
            {
                dt.Rows.Add("SpeechFile_" + i, "VOXDIR_" + i);
            }

            GridView2.DataSource = dt;
            GridView2.DataBind();
        }
    }
=============================

If there is anything unclear or any further finding, please feel free to
post here.

Cannot get my code to work. I have a similar grid on another page with
hyperlink data navigation URL and that work.

Anyway, I created a column with a template field and then placed the
hyperlink in the template and that seems to work.

Thanks for your help.
