[.net] Visual Studio 2005 seems limited
Author
O wow, I can't believe I was that blind...I feel extreamly stupid right now. I looked at the code again and there is the code blocks of <ItemTemplate> like someone said above. Thanks for all your help guys I really appreciate it and sorry for wasting your time. I should've looked closer...I'll get my eye's checked today :)

real quick though, I tried to edit the template tag but it's not working out correctly, I tried the implementation of the block described above. Then I tried it this way:
neither of the two worked they output parts of the code above. Thanks.
<asp:Label ID="guestIDLabel" runat="server" Text=' + ">" + <%# Eval("guestID") %> + ""'></asp:Label><br />neither of the two worked they output parts of the code above. Thanks.

Nvm I'm back again. This is is driving me up the wall. All I want to do is preform a simple task of putting a link that links to a page and supplies the damn id and the thing just simple is thumbing it's nose at me trying to p*** me off. I have this line:
and it doesn't work. The link then reads (when in debugging mode) testpage.aspx?id=<%# Eval("guestID") %> and it's really getting me mad. It shouldn't be that hard to display a link or is ASP.NET that incompetant?
/rant
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" id="guestIDLabel" NavigateUrl='testpage.aspx?id=<%# Eval("guestID") %>' Text='<%# Eval ("guest_name") %>'></asp:HyperLink>and it doesn't work. The link then reads (when in debugging mode) testpage.aspx?id=<%# Eval("guestID") %> and it's really getting me mad. It shouldn't be that hard to display a link or is ASP.NET that incompetant?

I don't really see what's wrong with your code. It should work just fine the way you're doing it.
But if you don't manage to get it working you can try the following
Note: I'm not yet familier with ASP.NET 2.0. But I guess the DataView works similar to ASP.NET 1.1's DataGrid. So I will give you an example using a good old DataGrid
In your aspx page, in the ItemTemplate, give an ID to your Hyperlink control (e.g. id="MyLink").
Then in the source page, attach an Eventhandler to the DataGrid's ItemDataBound Event (I will do this in VB.NET as I'm not a C# guy
I hope this helps you.
If .NET 2's DataView works differently then I'm sorry, but I can't help

Ooops, double post. Sorry. Can some moderator please remove the previous post?

This just goes to show you should pick proper subject lines. I thought it was actually a Visual Studio 2005 issue not a language issue. :-)
By Supplying the ID, do you mean as in transferring the ID of the object over to the next page? if so, you may want to try session variables
Try using DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "guestID") instead of just Eval("guestID")

Someone already suggested this. But it seems that best practice with .NET 2.0 would be to just use Eval("guestID"). Also it is certainly worth giving it a shot.
Anyway, I guess this post was rather pointless :)
