Pass variable into asp:Hyperlink NavigateURL property

[Mike555]

I am attempting to pass a parameter named "BackURL" into a asp:Hyperlink HTML control as shown below. "BackURL" is actually a variable defined in the page's code-behind. However, my current formatting below causes a "Page
cannot be displayed" error, and is invalid.

How can I properly reference my BackURL variable in the NavigateURL property
of the asp:Hyperlink control? Thanks.

<asp:HyperLink runat="server" Text="Update" NavigateURL='<%#
"Update_Order.aspx?id=" & DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.OrderID")&
"&BackURL=" & <%=BackURL%>%>' Target="_blank" ID="Hyperlink2">

You're nesting <% and %> tags. You have <%# ... <%= ... %> %>. You can't break into code when you've already broken into code. The short of it is, lose the inner nesting of tags, just change <%=BackURL%> to BackURL.
