"News_View.aspx?Articleid=" <----Syntax error

Question

User-936568653 posted

Can someone please direct me w/ the correct syntax of this:

 

<script runat="server"> "News_View.aspx?Articleid=" &Cstr( Eval("ID"))</script>

 

I cannot display this page on the server or otherwise since I get a syntax error where I have it underlined and bolded.

 

Thanks,

 Justin

It looks like you are trying to bind to a data srouce? maybe in a gridview or something.

 

which would look something like :

    <form runat=server>
        <asp:Repeater id="MyRepeater" runat="server">
            <ItemTemplate>
                Link for
                <asp:HyperLink id=HyperLink1 Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "StringValue") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# "detailspage_vb.aspx?id=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"StringValue")) %>' runat="server" />
                <p>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:Repeater>
    </form>

However, from yoru code:

" <script runat="server"> "News_View.aspx?Articleid=" &Cstr( Eval("ID"))</script>"

it loos like you are doing something trying to set some sort of script variable, can you post more of the code, or clarify your intent?

Basically, I cannot display this page on the server or otherwise because of this line:

<script runat="server"> "News_View.aspx?Articleid=" &Cstr( Eval("ID"))</script>
