NavigateURL

[CyCLoBoT]

I am trying to access URLs from a database using the following code:

<asp:HyperLink id=HyperLink1 runat="server" ImageUrl='<%# "Images\Maps\" & DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.ImageURL") %>' NavigateURL='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "GoogleMap")%>'>

But what's happening now is that when I run the page, I do see the hyperlink working on the picture but the url starts with something like http://localhost...and then it has the actual url starting with #. Both urls are combined. Anyone know how I can fix this?

This is the link I see:

http://localhost/Dorknozzle/headquarters.aspx#http://www.google.ca/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1290+Avenue+of+the+Americas,+new+york&ie=UTF8&z=15&om=#

Instead of using the DataBinder.Eval and also giving the ImageUrl a single quote, do it from the codebehind where you can concatenate in peace.

I don't know what you mean mendhak...I'm very new to this stuff so if you could explain it a bit in detail, I would really appreciate it.

Assuming you are using a dataset, in your codebehind, write this:

Me.HyperLink1.ImageUrl = "Images/Maps/" & ds.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("ImageURL").ToString()
Me.HyperLink1.NavigateURL = ds.Tables(0).Rows(0).Item("GoogleMap").ToString()

And let the hyperlink in the design view simply be:

<asp:HyperLink id=HyperLink1 runat="server" >

Modify as appropriate.

On my aspx page, I have a oledbdataadapter1, dataset51, oledbconnection1. Now I am just confused about the "codebehind". Does that just mean I have to put the code in the aspx.vb file? But when I try adding there, I get error message that HyperLink1 is not a member of that page. What am I doing wrong here?

I may have to look at your code, but fix this first:

<asp:HyperLink id=HyperLink1

should be

<asp:HyperLink id="HyperLink1"
