How to create a asp.net gridview hyperlink field with multiple querystring parameters

Frozen linksThe Problem: You need to put a relatively complicated link (i.e. the link has more than one parameter) into an asp.net gridview column.

The Cause: No cause really, you just need to know the exact syntax
The Solution:

<asp:HyperLinkField HeaderText=””

Text=”Download Your File”

DataNavigateUrlFields=”CategoryID,FileID”

DataNavigateUrlFormatString=”FileDownloader.

aspx?catid={0}&file={1}” />

You can have as many fields as you like in the DataNavigateUrlFields tag, and it will simply autopopulate from that point on (provided you have the parameters in proper {0} fashion.  This is hardly the biggest problem I’ve ever faced, but I didn’t know how to create the Hyperlink field in that way and now I do.
