System.Web.UI.WebControls Namespace   HyperLinkColumn Class

---

Sets or retrieves the field from a data source to bind to the URL of the hyperlinks in the column.

Inline	<asp:hyperlinkcolumn datanavigateurlfield = strFieldName ... >
Script	HyperLinkColumn.DataNavigateUrlField = strFieldName

strFieldName

String specifying the name of a field from the data source to bind to the URL of the hyperlinks in the column.

The property is read/write with no default value.

Use the DataNavigateUrlField property to specify the field from a data source to bind to the URL of the hyperlinks in the column. When the URL is data bound to a field, the URL of each hyperlink in the column is set with a corresponding value in the specified field. This allows you to set a different URL for each hyperlink in the column. To specify the same URL for each row in the column, set the NavigateUrl property instead of this property.

NOTE: The DataNavigateUrlField and NavigateUrl properties cannot both be set at the same time. If both properties are set, the DataNavigateUrlField property takes precedence.

When you are using data binding, you can specify a custom display format for the URL of the hyperlinks by setting the DataNavigateUrlFormatString property.

The following example demonstrates how to use the DataNavigateUrlField property to specify the field in a data source to bind to the URL of the hyperlinks in the column.

<asp:hyperlinkcolumn headertext = "Title"
   datatextfield = "title"
   datanavigateurlformatstring = "details_title.aspx?titleid={0}"
   datanavigateurlfield = "title_id" />
