There is an invalid sequence in the string. Error problem

I have this below in a Datalist:-
<asp:HyperLink id="Hyperlink1" Cssclass="MenuUnselected" Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "cat_cities")%>'
NavigateUrl='<%# "../Showcrete.aspx?CategoryID=" &
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "mcatid")& "&CitName=" &
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "cat_cities") & "&s=" &
Container.ItemIndex %>'
runat="server" />

But i get error:- Invalid URI: There is an invalid sequence in the string. "
What could be the problem!!!You should replace <%# "../Showcrete.aspx?CategoryID=" &
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "mcatid")& "&CitName=" &
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "cat_cities") & "&s=" &
Container.ItemIndex %>'

with

<%#
String.Format(".../Showcrete.aspx?CategoryID={0}&CitName={1}&s={2}",
((DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["mcatid"],
((DataRowView)Container.DataItem)["cat_cities"],
Container.ItemIndex) %>

I'm getting frustrated with this error i'm using :-
Dim link As String =
String.Format("../Showcrete.aspx?CategoryID={0}&CitName={1}&s={2}",
e.Item.DataItem("mcatid"), e.Item.DataItem("cat_cities"), e.Item.ItemIndex)
Still getting the same error
What could be wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could you provide a stacktrace ?
(Btw... the code was in C#, I don't know if it's applicable to VB.NET)

Tasos thanks i converted it to VB.NET
Actually i had to use ToString() and then used Server.UrlEncode
before i could get some positive result.
