Hyperlink to omit slash or http://

Question

User380413204 posted

Hi,

I have this filed in a table that I want to present as a hyperlink:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl = '<%# Bind("Link") %>' Target="_blank" Text='<%# Bind("Link") %>'></asp:HyperLink>

This in itself works fine, however I need to put in the text preceded by // or http://

Is it also possible to just start with www?

Thanks in advance,

Lex

If I understand what you want, then try this:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl = '<%# "http://www." + Bind("Link") %>' Target="_blank" Text='<%# Bind("Link") %>'></asp:HyperLink>

Hope this helps.

Hi,

No, when I try that I get

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'Bind' is not declared.

Sorry, I didn't get to try it out and I'm afraid I'm getting a little confused in my old age [:)]. Try this instead:

<asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" NavigateUrl = '<%# Bind("Link","http://www.{0}") %>' Target="_blank" Text='<%# Bind("Link") %>'></asp:HyperLink>
