Weird Error - Cannot Get into Design View

[yu217171]

Hi everyone,

I cannot get into Design View after I insert this piece of code.

<asp:templatecolumn visible=False headertext="Edit Comments">
<edititemtemplate>
<a href="javascript:void window.open('comments.aspx?reqID=<%#DataBinder.Eval (Container.DataItem, "RequestID")%>','test','width=500 height=500')">Edit</a>
</edititemtemplate>
</asp:templatecolumn>

The error I get says:

"Could not open in Design view. Quote values differently inside a '<% ... "value" ... %>' block.

I can compile just fine and everything seems fine, except I cannot get into design mode. Anyone come across this before?

You can't actually format asp.net server-side code that way (hopefully something they'll fix in 2.0). The easiest way that I've found around this is to stick it all in a function:

protected string GetEditUrl(int requestID)
{
    return "javascript:void window.open('comments.aspx?reqID=" + requestID.ToString() + "', 'test', 'width=500, height=500')";
}

<asp:templatecolumn visible=False headertext="Edit Comments">
    <edititemtemplate>
        <a href='<%# this.GetEditUrl((int)DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.requestID")) %>'>Edit</a>
    </edititemtemplate>
</asp:templatecolumn>

Hope that helps

AtomicChip,

That's what I did to get around it. I wrote a function and bound it to the column.

Thanks again,
