I dont think the <% tag is allowed inside the repeater i thought it was <# this one instead. but the line of code you pasted also contains errors and is not well formed i think take a look at you DataBinder.Eval() - Jordy van Eijk

You can also do this in the code behind by creating a method

protected string GetReminderLink(object Data)
{
 return "<a target=\"_BLANK\" href=\"editReminders.aspx?reminderID=" + Data.ToString() + "\";\">Text</a>";
}

and then calling it on your asp page as follows

<%# GetReminderLink(Eval("ReminderID"))%>

Try this:

<a href='<%#Eval("ReminderID","editReminders.aspx?reminderID={0}") %>' shape="rect" class="extLink">Edite</a>

This should work:

<a href='editReminders.aspx?reminderID=<%# Eval("ReminderID") %>' shape="rect" class="extLink">Edite</a>
