how to dynamically create a hyperlink in a gridview cell

[Carlos]

Hi all,

how would I be able to format programmatically
say the first cell on the 11th row of a gridview as a hyperlink ?

Thanks,

Carlos

Alvin,

thank you for your answer. How would I create the hyperlink template at
run time for that specific cell? Can you show some code?

Thanks,

Carlos.

You would need to hook an appropriate event, like itemdatabound or similar
and extract the cell from it using e.item[10] (or similar syntax). Then,
do a find control on the cell to find the hyperlink. If you don't have an
hyperlink, you will need to create an hyperlink object and then add it to
the cell - usually at the first position. If you google you should find
plenty of code to do this, it is rather common.

Otherwise, you can use a template column if your grid has templatized
columns. You can format from the designer or at run-time.
