What is the syntax to concatenate text into a binding expression for an asp.net webpage (aspx).
For example if I had a hyperlink that was being bound like this:
<asp:HyperLink id="lnkID" NavigateUrl='<%# Bind("Link") %>' Target="_blank"
Text="View" runat="server"/>
How do you change, say, the Text to concatenate a bound value with a string? Variations like this aren't quite right.
Text='<%# Bind("ID") + " View" %>'
neither does
Text='<%# String.Concat(Bind("ID"), " View") %>'
You can also place the "concatenation" in the text portion of a tag if using a template field:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="sortName">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton ID="lbName" runat="server" OnClick="lbName_Click" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("ID") %>'>
<%--Enter any text / eval bindind you want between the tags--%>
<%# Eval("Name") %> (<%# Eval("ID") %>)
</asp:LinkButton>
</ItemTemplate>
This results in output like:
Name (ID)
inside of the template column.
