I am using a datalist to display a summary of news stories stored in a SQL Server database.
<asp:DataList ID="DL_NewsSummary" runat="server" DataKeyField="newsItemId"
DataSourceID="DS_NewsSummary">
<ItemTemplate>
<h3>
<asp:HyperLink ID="headlineLink" runat="server" Text = '<%# Eval("headline") %>' NavigateUrl="#" />
</h3>
<asp:Label ID="dateLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("date") %>' />
<br />
<asp:Label ID="introLabel" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("intro") %>' />
<hr />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:DataList>
When the user clicks the headline hyperlink they should be taken to the full story on a separate page, news.aspx
. This page will get the newsItemId
from the querystring and populate the page with the story associated with that id e.g. news.aspx?newsItemId=1
.
However when I change the navigateUrl field to the following I get a server tag not well formed error.
<asp:HyperLink ID="headlineLink" runat="server" Text = '<%# Eval("headline") %>' NavigateUrl="news.aspx?newsItemId=<%# Eval("newsItemId") %>" />
Any help is greatly appreciated
