URL Rewriting from GridView in ASP.NET 4.0

Question

I'm using Url Rewriting in my website.

I'm able to rewrite the url using

Response.RedirectToRoute("bills-show");

But from my GridView how can I redirect to another page ?? Currently I'm using the following code in my GridViewRowDataBound .

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "location='CallCenter/BillDetails.aspx?billNo=" + e.Row.Cells[0].Text + "'");

But what I need is using URL Rewriting.

I tried using

e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "WriteUrl(" + e.Row.Cells[0].Text + ")"); // in GridViewRowDataBound.

and

protected string WriteUrl(string billNo)
{
    return pg.GetRouteUrl("bill-details", new { billno = billNo });
}

but this is not working !!!

Can you help me out ???

Answer 1

Use HyperLinkField in GridView columns list:

    <asp:HyperLinkField HeaderText="Account" DataTextField="Account" 
    DataNavigateUrlFields="Account" Target="_blank" 
    DataNavigateUrlFormatString="CallCenter/BillDetails.aspx?billNo=n={0}"
    SortExpression="Account" HeaderStyle-Width="61" />

If this code works without rewriting:

    e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "location='CallCenter/BillDetails.aspx?billNo=" +
                              e.Row.Cells[0].Text + "'");

Then this should be not a problem with:

    e.Row.Attributes.Add("onclick", "location='"location='orders/" +
                              e.Row.Cells[0].Text + "'");
