I am finally getting the path to the Current Page using Page.ResolveURL.

I am now getting "/jobSeeker/displayCompanyOverview.aspx" which is what I
was looking for.

But what is the syntax to add it into the HyperLink object?

I tried:

<asp:Hyperlink ID="test2" Text="HyperLink Test with ResolveURL"
NavigateUrl='<%= Page.ResolveUrl("displayCompanyOverview.aspx") %>'
runat="server"/><br>

and this gives me:

http://www.stw.com/applicant/<%=%20Page.ResolveUrl("displayCompanyOverview.aspx")%20%>

I also tried <% %> and had the same problem?  Do I need sometype of Eval
syntax?

Thanks,

Tom

Tom,
  Use   <%# ... %>  instead of <%= %>

cheers,
Vince

I tried that here:

<asp:Hyperlink ID="test2" Text="HyperLink Test with ResolveURL" 
NavigateUrl='<%# Page.ResolveUrl("displayCompanyOverview.aspx") %>' 
runat="server"/>

But I am getting just plane text and it is not a link.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Tom

I can set the NavigateURL for my Hyperlinks programmatically.  For example, 
I can do the following in the Page_Load event and it works fine:

  test3.NavigateURL = Page.ResolveUrl("displayCompanyOverview.aspx")

This sets it fine.

But then for all my pages I will have to either set this for all the 
Hyperlinks and HyperlinkColumns in my DataGrid.  The former would have to be 
set in Page_Load event and the later (datagrids) would have to be set in the 
PreRender event (I think).  What I was hoping to do was do it in the tag 
itself.

Thanks,

Tom

Did you realize you need to call DataBind() for thge Page or the
control in question for databinding expressions <%# %> to be
evaluated?

control in question for databinding expressions <%# %> to be
evaluated?

I was pretty sure of that and that was why I also tried <%= and <% neither 
of which worked.

Is it possible you can't do this particular function inline?

Thanks,

Tom

I assume this can't be done.

I was told by some else:

"What you'll need to do then is to use the '<%# %>' data-binding expression 
instead, and call Page.DataBind from the code-behind. But if you don't have 
code-behind, then I don't believe you can accomplish what you want."

Since I am not using code-behind I assume this can't be done.  I have tried 
all kinds of combinations and can't get it to work, so I give up as it is 
causing too much time.

Thanks,

Tom

I decided to try one more time to use the HyperLink in my Datagrid using <%# 
%> and eval and unlike a Hyperlink which outside of the datagrid gives me 
nothing, this does resolve the path but doesn't do it the same as when you 
do it programmatically.

If I do:

  dim test as String
  test = Page.ResolveUrl("displayCompanyOverview.aspx")
  test3.NavigateURL = Page.ResolveUrl("displayCompanyOverview.aspx")

This works fine and gives you the URL:

/jobseeker/displayCompanyOverview.aspx               (the Current Page Path)

If I do:

<asp:HyperLinkColumn ItemStyle-Width="190" DataTextField="JobTitle" 
DataTextFormatString="{0}" DataNavigateUrlField="PositionID" 
DataNavigateUrlFormatString='<%# 
Page.ResolveURL("displayPositionNS.aspx?PositionID=" + eval("{0}"))'

This gives me:

 /applicant/displayPositionNS.aspx?PositionID=210     (The Controls Path

I have no idea why this is working this way.  It makes no sense to me.

It doesn't appear to be using the ResolveURL at all.  If it did, it would 
resolve to the same path as when it was done programatically.
