ASPNET : Use the label inside the link with database

Question

I have a link like this: <a href ="xxx/category.html">

How can I add from xxx with database?

I have tried like this:

<a href="<asp:Label ID="lblCatAdSeo" runat="server" Text=""></asp:Label>/<%#Eval("Category")%>.html">

Answer 1

One solution might be defining a code-behind method for this:

<a href='<%# GetFullUrl((string)Eval("Category")) %>'>

And in code-behind define it like this:

protected string GetFullUrl(string categoryName)
{
    // derive the full url
    return url;
}

If you are getting relevant url parts elsewhere, say during the Page_Load, you can simply store this info in some private field, and use it lately in this method.
