Hi..

I am trying to encode the url using HttpUtility.UrlEncode,
but not able to make it work. HyperLink control is in the
template field of gridview.

Can anyone please help me out with this??

I have tried changing the target application and by adding
System.Web reference to project but still not able to Encode
the url.

Please guide me.

Following is part of my code:-

ASP.NET

<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkDetailsPage" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# string.Format("~/YellowPages/YellowDetailView.aspx?CustomerId={0}",HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Eval("CustomerId").ToString())) %>'></asp:HyperLink>

Thanks in advance.

This function does work, and it is unrelated to ASP.NET or any other particular application type, period.
What do you call this function in your code and what comes on input?

I have Gridview,within which included the anchor tag in its template field which lets me navigate to next page based on the CustomerId.

I have even tried with this too:

<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkDetailsPage" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# string.Format("~/YellowPages/YellowDetailView.aspx?CustomerId={0}",HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Eval("CustomerId").ToString())) %>'>

hi Try this..

ASP.NET

<asp:HyperLink ID="lnkDetailsPage" Text="click here" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# "~/YellowPages/YellowDetailView.aspx?CustomerId=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Eval("CustomerId").ToString())  %>'>
                   </asp:HyperLink>

Text="click here"

whenever you are using Hyperlink you should assign the Text value.

if the Text value is empty , then the link wont appear on the screen.
