Create a hyperlink using a QueryString or Form parameter in C# ASP.NET

 

This is a very short code snippet which shows you how you can create a hyperlink using a QueryString or Form parameter received from a referring page.

Note that you would need to do two things in order for this to work:

Step 1
First, paste the code below in the HTML markup.  The code below assumes that you are using a querystring parameter called “ID” that was passed over from a previous page.

<asp:HyperLink Target="_blank" ID="HyperLinkViewFeedback" runat="server"
NavigateURL='<%# String.Concat("~/Feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?ID=",Request.QueryString["ID"]) %>'>View Feedback</asp:HyperLink>

Step 2
Add the “Page.DataBind()” method to the OnLoad of the code-behind file.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Page.DataBind();
}

a) enablePasswordRetrieval='true' and enablePasswordReset is set to either true or false --> PR generates exception
b) if enablePasswordRetrieval='false' and enablePasswordReset='false' --> PR generates exception
c) if enablePasswordRetrieval is set to false and enablePasswordReset is set to true, then PR automatically generates new pwd and emails it.


Similarly, if pwd is not hashed, but we have enablePasswordRetrieval='false', then enablePasswordReset must be set to true (so that PR generates a new pwd and emails it), else we get an exception"
