[Solved] Hyperlink to other page with specific article

[David De Backer]

Hello,
I have a database with the columns NewsID, date, category, title and content. I want to show the date, category and title in a Telerik Listview. When you click on the title (which is a hyperlink in the listview), I want to load a subpage with the full article (title+content). In which subpage it is loaded, depends on the category of the article. When the category is for example 'general', it is loaded in the default-page. When the category is 'dogs', it is loaded in subpages/dogs.aspx. When the category is 'fishes', it is loaded in subpages/fishes.aspx.

When I use a standard datalist, I do it in the following way:

    Protected Sub DataList_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataListItemEventArgs) Handles DataList.ItemDataBound
        Select Case e.Item.ItemType
            Case ListItemType.Item, ListItemType.AlternatingItem
                Dim myRow As DataRowView = CType(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)
                Dim hype As HyperLink = e.Item.FindControl("DatalistHyperlink")
                If myRow.Item("category") = "General" Then
                    hype.NavigateUrl = "default.aspx?NewsID=" & myRow.Item("NewsID")
                Else
                    hype.NavigateUrl = "subpages/" & myRow.Item("category") & ".aspx?NewsID=" & myRow.Item("NewsID")
                End If
        End Select
    End Sub

 
What is the solution for this problem when I use a Telerik-listview instead of a standard datalist?

Thanks in advance.

Hi David,

You can use the same general approach with our RadListView as with the MS DataList, with the appropriate code modifications of course. For example the code you have pasted will look similar to the following:

Protected Sub RadListView1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RadListViewItemEventArgs) Handles RadListView1.ItemDataBound
    If TypeOf e.Item Is RadListViewDataItem Then
        Dim dataItem = CType(e.Item, RadListViewDataItem)
        Dim myRow As DataRowView = CType(dataItem.DataItem, DataRowView)
        Dim hype As HyperLink = e.Item.FindControl("DatalistHyperlink")
        If myRow.Item("category") = "General" Then
            hype.NavigateUrl = "default.aspx?NewsID=" & myRow.Item("NewsID")
        Else
            hype.NavigateUrl = "subpages/" & myRow.Item("category") & ".aspx?NewsID=" & myRow.Item("NewsID")
        End If
    End If
End Sub

All the best,
