I would think this quite simple but no matter what or how I do I cannot seem to get this to this to work / render in an expected way.
I'm want to create a mailto link within a gridview which uses data from that column but I wish ti include data from another column within the subject line within that mailto link.
Gridviewe code with nothing behind which produces the mailto link.
I wish to add the MGROUP column into the subject line, ala <%# Eval("MGROUP ") %> or somesuch but I cannot seem to incorporate that without concatting it or displaying it. Various posts suggest I need to use templatefield instead of boundfields but then I lose DataFormatString and the mailto option so have to go with Hyperlink.
This is what I have thus far
This currently displays the datafields I want along with the mailto link without the second column data. Ultimately all I want displayed within the gridview is a mailto link "email".
Any pointers, as always, most welcome!
TIA.
