Setting DataNavigateUrlFormatString parameter dynamically

[mkasuboski]

Here is the code snippet from the grid.

                        <telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataTextField="EstimateID" UniqueName="EstimateID" HeaderText="Quote #" AllowFiltering="false"
                                DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~/QuoteDetail.aspx?EstimateID={0}" DataNavigateUrlFields="EstimateID" SortExpression="EstimateID"
                                SortAscImageUrl="~/Images/SortAsc.gif" SortDescImageUrl="~/Images/SortDesc.gif" ItemStyle-Font-Underline="true">
                            <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" Font-Size="12px" />
                        </telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn>

I would like to set the DataNavigateUrlFormatString from a field in the bound datatable, just like the visible text field is set by setting the DataTextField property, or set this property in the code behind before the grid is rendered.

Can this be done and how do I do it??

Thanks!

Hello,

You can access the HyperLink control of the HyperLinkColumn and set its NavigateUrl as shown below:

 protected void RadGrid2_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
      if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
            {
                GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
                foreach (GridColumn col in RadGrid1.Columns)
                {
                        string strtxt = dataItem["ProductID"].Text;
                       ((HyperLink)dataItem["HyperLinkColumn"].Controls[0]).NavigateUrl=String.Format("Default3.aspx?ID={0}", strtxt);
                }
             }
     }

Thanks
Princy.

Princy,
Thanks for the response.  You pushed in the right direction to resolve my questions.

Here is how I did it.

    Protected Sub rgEstimates_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs) Handles rgEstimates.ItemDataBound
            If Me._NotAuthenticated Then
                Exit Sub
            End If
            If e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.Item Or e.Item.ItemType = GridItemType.AlternatingItem Then
                Dim dataItem As GridDataItem = CType(e.Item, GridDataItem)
                Dim currentRow As DataRowView = DirectCast(e.Item.DataItem, DataRowView)
                For Each col As GridColumn In rgEstimates.Columns
                    If col.UniqueName = "EstimateID" Then
                        Dim strTxt As String = currentRow.Row("currOrderLink").ToString
                        CType(dataItem("EstimateID").Controls(0), HyperLink).NavigateUrl = String.Format("JavaScript:openEstimateDetail('{0}');", strTxt)
                    End If
                Next
            End If
        End Try
    End Sub

Thanks again for your help!
