            <asp:Button ID="select" runat="server" Text="Auftrag koordinieren" onclick="select_Click" />
        </p>

This is displaying a table with grid view with the option of a checkbox for every row.However i would like to make the first entry of the table that is the "auftragsnummer" as a link that will point to the next page instead of scrolling down and selecting on click.Can anyone help me with this?

Solution 1

Replace this:

ASP.NET

<asp:boundfield headertext="Auftragsnummer" xmlns:asp="#unknown" />

With this one:

ASP.NET

<asp:hyperlinkfield xmlns:asp="#unknown">
    DataNavigateUrlFields="UrlColumn"
    DataTextField="YourColumnName"
    HeaderText="Auftragsnummer"
    SortExpression="YourColumnName" />
</asp:hyperlinkfield>

Hope you find it helpful

so it will be like

<asp:hyperlinkfield xmlns:asp="#unknown">
DataNavigateUrlFields="?/manage.aspx"
DataTextField="Report_id"
HeaderText="Auftragsnummer"
/>

Yes, must be like you exposed.

the thing is i already tried this way and also adding a hyperlink through the edit column on the design page..it just doesnt seem to take the data text field.keeps on giving me an error saying "report_id" or any other variant i use does not exist in the data source.However in the database table..it is found under report_id itself

Have you got a DataTable or DataSet as DataSource in your GridView?

Member 9196002 13-Aug-12 9:06am

yes..its a datatable

Christian Amado 13-Aug-12 9:08am

May be your problem is on DataNavigateUrlFields="?/manage.aspx", please delete this to test. Take a look if the Report_id exists as column in DataTable. Use breakpoints =)

You're welcome. I'm here to help you.

hey christian,
I just made some changes to the program,rather than attaching a datasource, there was a piece of logic available with for a different page to fetch the records, i tried modifying that but again i seem to be facing the same issue.I'm not at all able to figure out to what the issue is

Christian Amado 13-Aug-12 14:12pm

Can you show us your Gridview definition (complete GridView in your aspx file)?
