Hyperlinks that pass additional values

[adamcm]

Hi all,

I guarantee the title of my thread does not explain what I am looking for, but I just can't think of a better way to word it.

What I have right now is an application that the user can add, search, and update various orders in the System. I've been working on the front end page, and wanted to display a summary of all orders performed this month. Right now the Orders are represented as labels (based on data pulled from the database). What i'd like to do is replace these labels with hyperlinks. I was hoping that by doing that I could somehow write some code so that when an order is clicked that the user is taken directly to the search page and that order is displayed. Is this possible to do?

The other issue I can see is that right now the following steps are needed on the Search page:
1 - The user enters search criteria and clicks the Search button. This is turn displayed a GridView.
2 - The user selects an item from the Grid, which then turns all of the fields to be Visible.

I'm not sure if any of this is possible, but appreciate the help.

Thanks!

hey,
i don't actually think that i understand your Question,
but if you asking that, you can pass variables through the Hyperlinks
yes you can do this ..

string name = adamcm;
HyperLink1.NavigateUrl = "search.aspx?Name=" + name;

Thanks, that would work well if I created a specific URL each time an order is searched for. If i'm not mistaken, right now it only displays Search.asp no matter which order I select. So after searching, I select an Order from the Gridview and the order details populate throughout the form. After I select an item from the Gridview is it possible to create a specific URL (ie Search.aspx?ORderID=99)?

adamcm,

Are you using the ASP.Net GridView control?

If so, you should be able to set up a column as a HyperLinkField, then format the url that it is set to using the datanavigateurlformatstring and the datatextfield. You can find an example here:

Or, you could do this work in the GridView's RowDataBound event, it is really up to you.

I just checked avrail's link, and this is another example of doing exactly what I just said

Let us know if you are having problems with this.
