I think I may be brain dead today. I tried the second option, but could not get it to work. I think I am doing something wrong. I am going to shorten the example a bit to make it easier. When I put this in:

NavigateURL='CompanyData.aspx?CompanyID=
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CompanyID") %>'   

The program runs, but the link that is generated is:

http://localhost/StockIndex/CompanyData.aspx?CompanyID=<% #DataBinder.Eval(Containter, "DataItem.SICCode") %>

So it seems that if anything other than <%# DataBinder.Eval(param, param) %> is between the quotes, the expression is not evaluated.

>>Sorry that I wasn't clearer. The first example I posted works fine. I put the HyperLink into the web DataGrid and I am able to set the properties so that the link is generated dynamically. This is how I setup the HyperLink in DataGrid with the VS.NET 2003 property builder:

>The answer is that the Builder isn't smart enough to handle two URL fields. You have some options to set up the DataGrid the way you want it:

MyDataSet.Tables(0).Columns.Add("Link", _

>(IndexTypeID,'System.String'))

>2. Convert the Hyperlink column to a template column and insert the CompanyID and IndexTypeID into the QueryString in the HTML of the page.

 ... NavigateURL="CompanyData.aspx?CompanyID=
><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "CompanyID")   
>&IndexTypeID=<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "IndexTypeID")"

>3. There are other ways of doing this that are more complex. If neither of the first two are what you want, we can work on a different way.
