Bind Hyperlink.NavigateUrl to mailto: action without using code-behind

This is a very simple and elegant (but annoying to figure out) way to bind HyperLink.NavigateUrl to an email address with a mailto: action without using code-behind

<asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl=’&lt;%# Bind(”EmailAddress”, “mailto:{0}”) %&gt;‘ Text=’&lt;%# Bind(”Email”) %&gt;‘ runat=”server” ID=”EmailHyperLink”></asp:HyperLink>
