0	In the above code snippet, you want to provide the path of a page from web.config appsetting that is not good. You should specify the path something like /yourfolder/yourpage.aspx?ProductID={0}. In case you do not want to do this then you can declare a property (say Path) in the code behind and in Page_Load, assign that property to the AppSettings value and use that property. OR Declare a protected method in the code behind something like protected string WriteUrl(string productId) { return Path + "?ProductID="+ productId; } Now call the above method in the aspx page something like <asp:LinkButton ID="lbtn_path" runat="server" Visible="true" PostBackUrl='<%# WriteUrl(Eval("ID").ToString())'></asp:LinkButton> Yes, you could have done this very well using anchor tag, its always best practice to use html control wherever possible to avoid unnecessary viewstate and processing time. <a href="<%# WriteUrl(Eval("ID").ToString())">Click here</a> This should work for you.

OR

Declare a protected method in the code behind something like


protected string WriteUrl(string productId)

{

     return Path + "?ProductID="+ productId;

}

<asp:LinkButton ID="lbtn_path" runat="server" Visible="true" PostBackUrl='<%# WriteUrl(Eval("ID").ToString())'></asp:LinkButton>

Yes, you could have done this very well using anchor tag, its always best practice to use html control wherever possible to avoid unnecessary viewstate and processing time.

<a href="<%# WriteUrl(Eval("ID").ToString())">Click here</a>

This should work for you.
