Problem setting NavigateUrl's in DataList (hyperlink)

V

I have a datalist with a hyperlink in the Item Template.

When I set the NavigateUrl simply to this, the databound CategoryId shows up
fine:
<asp:HyperLink id=hlLink runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<%#Container.DataItem("CategoryId")%>'>
<%# Container.DataItem("CategoryName") %>
</asp:HyperLink>&nbsp;


When I try to add it as a querystring it doesn't show up correctly. For
example, if I set NavigateUrl to this:
NavigateUrl='Shop.aspx?CategoryId=<%#Container.DataItem("CategoryId")%>'>

The URL address is this:
Shop.aspx?CategoryId=<%#Container.DataItem("CategoryId")%>

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Figured it out:
NavigateUrl='<%#"Shop.aspx?CategoryId=" &
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CategoryId")%>'>
Thanks y'all!

Or like this:

NavigateUrl='<%= DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem, "CategoryId",
"shop.aspx?categoryId={0}") %>'

I have a datalist with a hyperlink in the Item Template.

When I set the NavigateUrl simply to this, the databound CategoryId shows up
fine:
<asp:HyperLink id=hlLink runat="server"
NavigateUrl='<%#Container.DataItem("CategoryId")%>'>
<%# Container.DataItem("CategoryName") %>
</asp:HyperLink>&nbsp;


When I try to add it as a querystring it doesn't show up correctly. For

NavigateUrl='Shop.aspx?CategoryId=<%#Container.DataItem("CategoryId")%>'>

The URL address is this:
Shop.aspx?CategoryId=<%#Container.DataItem("CategoryId")%>

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks!
