Hi, i was also able to resolve this problem by converting the field to template using following code. And without going to codebehind :)

                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Action">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:HyperLink ID="HyperLink1" runat="server" 
                            NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("employee\_id", "employee\_details.aspx?cid={0}&department\_id=" + Request.QueryString\["department\_id"\]) %>'
                            Text="View Details"></asp:HyperLink>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>

I want to have current querystring values in HyperLinkField of a Gridview. For example i have a list of employees page with department id already in the querystring, now i want to have View Details link to take user to employee details page with employee_id added to querystring but also keep department_id in the querystring. Like following code

<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="employee_id, <%= Request.Querystring["department_id"] %>"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="employee_details.aspx?employee_id={0}&department_id{1}" HeaderText="Action" Text="View Details" />

The current code gives me following error message.

Parser Error Message: Literal content ('<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="candidate_id,') is not allowed within a 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlFieldCollection'.

I hope there is some other way i can achieve this functionality while keeping it declarative as possible without using code behind. Thanks

no offense :)

good idea! hehe ;) but in some cases we cant replace role of humans(e.g. Moderators).

What about compatibility...do i need to install .net 1.1 seperately in order to run old applications or they will run using .net 2.0 too ? is it downward compatible with version 1.0 and 1.1 ?

Ads are gone (sorry for confusing). can we talk on real subject now! :) Humayun

Yes, you were right...so i have removed ads.
