Asp Hyperlink and Datalist Question

[Leon]

What Am I Doing Wrong? Code Will Not Run, I Can't See The Error! Thanks.

<asp:datalist id="DataList1" runat="server"
RepeatColumns="4">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink
id=HyperLink1
ImageUrl= '<%# String.Format("Toyota/Images/Showroom/" &
Container.DataItem("PathToDisplyPic"))%>'
NavigateUrl='<%#
String.Format("Toyota/Display.aspx/ConsultantId=1&DisplayId={0})",
Container.DataItem("ID"))%>' runat="server" /><BR>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server">Label</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>

Hi Leon,

You had some syntax errors. When I fix those, it runs. Not sure what it is
supposed to look like though. See the code below.

Let us know if this helps?

dt.Rows.Add(dr)
Next i
Return dt
End Function 'CreateDataSource

Thanks everything works fine now, but...
How do I separate each pair of Hyperlink & Label with a space horizontal?

Sorry, I'm not sure what you mean. Could you show me what it should look
like in regular HTML? You currently have four columns. There's a label below
each link. Perhaps you can clarify?

Thanks,

Ken

 

[Leon]

This is what it should look like..

Hyperlink -Space- Hyperlink -Space- Hyperlink -Space- Hyperlink
Label Label Label
Label
|Space
Hyperlink Hyperlink Hyperlink
Hyperlink
Label -Space- Label -Space- Label -Space-
Label
ECT....

Hi Leon,

You could throw in some non-breaking spaces to do that.

<asp:datalist id="DataList1" runat="server" RepeatColumns="4">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink id=HyperLink1
ImageUrl= '<%# String.Format("Toyota/Images/Showroom/" &
Container.DataItem("PathToDisplyPic"))%>'
NavigateUrl='<%#
String.Format("Toyota/Display.aspx?ConsultantId=1&DisplayId={0}",
Container.DataItem("ID"))%>' runat="server"
/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server">Label</asp:Label><br />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:datalist>

 

[Leon]

Thanks, but would it be best for me to put the
itemtemplate info in a html table <tr>.

Thanks again Ken!

1. Are u sure you attached a data source your datalist ?
2. HyperLink NavigateUrl "Toyota/Display.aspx/ConsultantId=1&DisplayId={0}"
is it correct? "Toyota/Display.aspx?ConsultantId=1&DisplayId={0}"
3. What is wrong ? What about output ? Can u see anything?

 

[Leon]

I'm sure! I see the data perfect, but now I'm trying to format the
data exactly the way I want it.

Ok. I couldnot understand your question... Is it possible to describe your
problem briefly?
