HyperLink in Datagrid Datalist

[bull1998]

Is there a way to make a column in DataGrid or Datalist a hyperlink? I tried <asp:HyperLink> and <a href="somelink"> but none of them worked. they always display the contents as plain text.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

you have to create a &lt;asp:templatecolumn&gt;...

here's an example

<asp:datagrid runat="server" id="table1">
     <asp:templatecolumn runat="server" id="template1">
          <itemtemplate>
               <asp:hyperlink runat="server" id="link1">Click Me</asp:hyperlink>
         </itemtemplate>
     <asp:templatecolumn>
</asp:datagrid>

you could use any asp tags in there like checkbox, linkbutton....
but remember that in order to access their properties, you have to do a FindControl on the hyperlink ID....
