GridViewDynamicHyperlinkColumn compile error & not showing text

[Gary]

I have the following column within a RadGridView:

 

 

<telerik:GridViewDynamicHyperlinkColumn Header="Name"

 

 

DataFormatString="{0}"

 

 

DataMemberBinding="{Binding PartyName}"

 

 

NavigateUrlMemberPaths="ShortName, PartyId"

 

 

NavigateUrlFormatString="http://Party/{0}/{1}"/>

 

When I compile, I'm getting the following error:

Error 77 The tag '0' does not exist in XML namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation'. D:\Projects\AppName\AppName\AppName\Views\ContactManagement\PartySearchPage.xaml 57 62 AppName

What am I missing?  If I change DataFormatString="{0}" to DataFormatString=" {0}", (put a space in front), it compiles, however, no text is shown.  If I remove the DataFormatString property, nothing shows in the grid as well.

I'm using Q3 2009 for Silverlight.

Hi Gary,

String format in XAML should be "{}{0}" - you can check this demo for more info.

All the best,

Thanks.  That resolved the compilation error.   However, the PartyName still does not show.   Markup now looks like this:

<telerik:GridViewDynamicHyperlinkColumn Header="Name"

 

 

DataMemberBinding="{Binding PartyName}"

 

 

DataFormatString="{}{0}"

 

 

NavigateUrlMemberPaths="ShortName, PartyId"

 

 

NavigateUrlFormatString="http://Party/{0}/{1}" />

The following does display the PartyName (next column in RadGridView), but doesn't support 2 or more format strings in the URL:

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn Header="Name" UniqueName="PartyName" Width="200">

 

 

 

<telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

 

 

 

<DataTemplate>

 

 

 

<HyperlinkButton x:Name="btnEditParty" Click="btnEditParty_Click" Content="{Binding PartyName}" />

 

 

 

</DataTemplate>

 

 

 

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn.CellTemplate>

 

 

 

</telerik:GridViewDataColumn>

 

 

 

Is this column in any way conflicting with the previous?  Or am I missing something to get the PartyName to display.

I removed all other columns, so no other column is affecting the display of the PartyName for the GridViewDynamicHyperlinkColumn.  At this point, I'm at a loss as to why the bound column is not displaying it's value.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello Gary,

Can you send us small example (via support ticket) where we can reproduce and debug your scenario?

I'm also trying to figure out what to I have to put in DataFormatString because anything I'm trying makes the application crashes

MY last attempt was DataFormatString = "mailto:{0}";
