Webgrid hyperlink column shows "hyperlink text" even when null

Hello George,

I finally found a way to implement your scenario.

First, you need to set the ColumnType to Custom like following:

<Columns>
    <ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Name="Region" Width="100px" ColumnType="Custom" 
    Caption="Region" DataMember="Region">
    </ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn>
</Columns>

Then, use NullText property in InitializeRow Server-side event like following:

protected void WebGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.RowEventArgs e)
{
   WebGrid1.RootTable.Columns.GetNamedItem("Region").NullText = "<a href='http://www.intersoftpt.com' target='_blank'>Intersoft</a>";
}

NullText property will automatically detect your database that has a null value.

Attached is the sample file for your reference.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

No this does not help. I do not want to change the hyperlinkdisplaytext for all rows, only for the rows that are DBNull.

However there is not a hyperlinkdisplaytext off the e.row.cells.

Hello,

You can change the hyperlink text using InitializeRow like following:

protected void WebGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.RowEventArgs e)
{
   WebGrid1.RootTable.Columns.GetNamedItem("HyperlinkColumn").HyperlinkDisplayText = "Hyperlink Text";
}

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

I have a webgrid with a hyperlink column type, that continues to show the default hyperlink even when the column is null. I have tried to change the text on InitializeRow, but I cannot.
