EditURL and the Programmatically Build Datagrid

For display reasons I've been forced to populate a datatable with the results of a sproc instead of going straight to the datagrid (I'm building a semi-pivot table with results that aren't normally part of a pivot table). Anyways, for the life of me I cannot get the EditURL working for the hyperlink column I've created. Has anyone done a hyperlinkcolumn in the background in DNN before and can tell me where I'm messing up?

Dim linkColumn As New HyperLinkColumn

linkColumn.DataNavigateUrlField = "UserID"

linkColumn.NavigateUrl = EditUrl("UserID", "{0}", "EditDriver") <---- THis is the once that's come the closest to working. The URL is formatted wrong but it's at least return the correct UserID.

'linkColumn.NavigateUrl = String.format((EditUrl("DivisionID", DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DivisionID").ToString, "EditDivision")), "") <--- I saw some examples on the web that used it this way but I get an error on DataBinder and Container even after I've added Imports System.Web.UI.DataBinder.

linkColumn.Visible = IsEditable

linkColumn.Text = "Edit"

dgDrivers.Columns.Add(linkColumn)

Re: EditURL and the Programmatically Build Datagrid

How is your url coming out? What does the format look like?

I normally use a Template column to build a HyperlinkColumn. Would you be able to use a template column instead?

Here is an example....

      <asp:TemplateColumn ItemStyle-Wrap="False" HeaderStyle-Wrap="False">
        <ItemTemplate>
          <asp:HyperLink id="EditImgBtn2" ImageUrl='<%# GetImagePath("edit.gif") %>' NavigateUrl='<%# EditUrl("WishID", DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"WishID").ToString()) %>' Visible='<%# RenderEditable() %>' runat="server" />
          <asp:ImageButton Runat="server" ID="CloneImgBtn" CommandName="CloneWish" ImageUrl='<%# GetImagePath("clone.gif") %>' ImageAlign="Middle" AlternateText="Clone this wish">
          </asp:ImageButton>
        </ItemTemplate>
      </asp:TemplateColumn>
