HyperLinkFields in GridView

[SimonG]

Hi everyone

Is it possible to use a URL of the form file:// in a HyperLinkField?

I can get it to work no problem when my source data field contains "http://"
references, but if the start of the string is "file://" I don't get the link
created properly.

Is there any way around this, or is it just assumed that HyperLinkFields are
always formed for the http protocol?

Many thanks

Simon

You mean:

<a href = '....'

That is clientside and only html, so of topic in this classic ASP NG.

There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through
some of the previous questions before posting yours - always a
recommended practice), but this is a classic (COM-based) asp newsgroup.
ASP.Net is a different technology from classic ASP. While you may be
lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can answer your
question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to
a newsgroup where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest

microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

There are also forums at www.asp.net where you can find a lot of people
to help you.
