OK Im at a crossroads with something. Take a gander at the code below. I have a data repeater, and throughout the repeater I want to call GetNavUrl, supplying it with a parameter found in my data I am binding with.
NavigateUrl='<%# GetNavUrl(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"ProductCode") %>'
So, for example, I want navigateURL to equal the result of GetNavUrl(123), Any ideas? thx!
It sounds like you want to do databinding of child objects in your UI? Honestly, in situations like these, I find it much better to avoid doing such binding in the UI (mostly for separation of concerns), and instead do that in the code behind.
myRepeater.ItemCreated += new ItemsCreatedEventHandler(whatever);
Then, in your item created event handler, find your control and assign that data programmatically:
MyBindedObject dataItem = e.Item.DataItem as MyBindedObject;
HyperLink myLink = e.Item.FindControl("myControl") as HyperLink;
if(myLink != null)
myLink.NavigateUrl = GetNavUrl(dataItem);
