pass value of a BoundField to Javascript function by clicking a LinkButton

Question

I have the following gridview:

<asp:GridView ID="grdResults" runat="server" OnRowDataBound="grdResults_RowDataBound" DataKeyNames="rowNumber"> 
    <Columns>
        <asp:BoundField DataField="ID" HeaderText="ID" />
        <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Seq">
            <ItemTemplate >
                <asp:LinkButton runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("Seq") %>' OnClientClick='<%#String.Format("alert({0},{1})", Eval("ID"), Eval("Seq")) %>'
                </asp:LinkButton>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

I would like to pass both values from asp:BoundField and asp:LinkButton to a javascript function upon a click on the LinkButton. I have tried the above code which is similar to the accepted answer of this example but it doesn't work.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to do that.

Please try this instead:

OnClientClick='<%#string.Format("window.alert(""{0}""+""{1}"");", 
                  DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "ID"), 
                  DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Seq")) %>'
