This piece of code doesn't work I can't seem to figure it out. Im trying to make it join the artist name from the database into the link.

[ <a href='Profile.aspx?Artistname=<%#Eval("Artistname"%>'>View Profile</a> ]

Is your anchor within some parent control that itself is Bound to date?  Also set the runat property of the anchor to "server". i.e

<a href="Profile.aspx?Artistname=<%#Eval("Artistname"%>"  runat="server" >View Profile</a>

This is needed since databinding takes place on the server and not on the client. Try this and check if any errors.

Thanks but im getting the following error
Parser Error
