Hyperlink column

Hello,

I made a simple WebGrid sample that perhaps similar with your scenario requirement.

I bind WebGrid to access data source (Northwind.mdb database and Shippers table).

In my sample, if the value of ShipperID is “1”, the ShipperID will appear as a hyperlink to another page.

In ShipperID column, I set ColumnType property to "Custom".

And in InitializeRow server side event I add some validation code:

protected void WebGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.RowEventArgs e)
{
    string shipperID = e.Row.Cells.GetNamedItem("ShipperID").Text;
    if (shipperID == "1")
        e.Row.Cells.GetNamedItem("ShipperID").Text = "<a href='http://google.com'>" + shipperID + " </a>";
    else
        e.Row.Cells.GetNamedItem("ShipperID").Text = shipperID;
        
}

Please kindly have on my sample and let me know your reponse.

Regards,

Hans.

I have a Hyperlink column which shows data of Yes or No. If Yes I want it to user the HyperLinkFormatString so that when clicked it opens a new page, but if No I don't want it to use the HyplerLinkFormatString and would like to convert it to just text.

I know that a TemplateColumn would work but due to other problems (SaveLayout can't deal with Template Columns) with Grid8, I can't use a Template Column.

I've tried to change the ColumnType to Text in the InitalizeRow event but it changes the entire column. Would like to convert just the cell.

Any ideas?

Thanks
