Help with Hyperlink Column!

[Jack Black]

Hi, all!

I'm trying to build a hyperlink column who textField is one column in
the query, but whose URL needs to dyunamically contain the data from
another.

For example, I want to display a book title (column = "Title"), but
the URL needs to be:
myPage.aspx?book=ISBN (where ISBN is a column name)

Tried a few different approaches, but can't get there... Suggestions?

I would suggest converting the hyperlink column into a template column:
<TemplateColumn>
<ItemTemplate>
<a href='<%# String.Concat("myPage.aspx?book=",
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"ISBN")) %>'>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Title") %>
</a>
</ItemTemplate>
</TemplateColumn>
