Adding a string parameter to OnClientClick event

Question

I have a link with this:

OnClientClick='<%# String.Format("openWin({0}, {1}, {2});return false;",DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.component_id"), DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.control_id"), 'string value')%> ' />

This is failing because I'm ensure of how to add in the last string variable (indicating by the 'string value')

Try this

OnClientClick='<%# String.Format("openWin({0}, {1}, \"{2}\");
return false;"
,DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.component_id")
,DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.control_id")
,"string value")%> ' />

Single quote would cause a

Parser Error Message

since you're also using single quotes for OnClientClick attribute. Escaping quotes with \" should get the job done.

EDIT

Use the following in order to avoid

Compiler Error Message: CS1010: Newline in constant

OnClientClick='<%# String.Format("openWin({0}, {1}, \"{2}\");return false;",DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.component_id"),DataBinder.Eval(Continer,"DataItem.control_id"),"string value")%> ' />
