Hi Ca,

     As far as I know, we cannot use HyperLinkFormatString property to set the asp link button control. You can simply set the NavigateUrl in your template instead of set them in the serverside. 

     The HyperLinkFormatString can only be used when the column type is set to Hypelink. I hope it helps. Thank you and have a nice day.

sorry for the mis understanding made on the question.

i know it is not possible to use HyperLinkFormatString property to asp button control.

by the above line of code i mean, i want to access the property of asp.net control used inside the template column type.

<ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn Caption="View Details" ColumnType="Template" DataMember="L_ID"
        Name="WebGridColumn11" Width="110px">
        <CellTemplate>
                      <asp:ImageButton ID="btndet" CssClass="example7" runat="server"      Text="View Details" ImageUrl="~/Images/vdetails.png" />
                      
        </CellTemplate>
     
</ISWebGrid:WebGridColumn>

Here how can i assign CssClass property from the backend exactly as i did it for HyperlinkFormatString property of hyperlink control.

Hi Ca,

You will need to use FindControl method.

e.g I am using a label named as "Label1" in a WebGridColumn.

Here is how I access the control and set the text:

 protected void WebGrid1_InitializeRow(object sender, ISNet.WebUI.WebGrid.RowEventArgs e)
 {
        Label a= (Label) e.Row.Cells[4].GetTemplateContainer().FindControl("Label1");
        a.Text = "aaa";
 }
