Add Hyperlink column at runtime

[Scott Friedrich]

I found this link in a previous thread:

Thanks Scott Mitchell!!

That code works fine if I add the ASP code to the HTML page. What I have is
the need to set a column as a hyperlink in code at run time. I have a page
where a user can create ad hoc queries. I am determinig the datatype of the
column and if it is a hyperlink I then need to set the column in the datagrid
as a hyperlink. These queries will be different everytime and that is why I
need to dynamically set the hyperlink column(s) at run time.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

I figured it out. I needed to turn off AutoGenerateColumns and add them via
code..ala..

Dim col0 As New HyperLinkColumn

col0.DataTextField = dt.Columns(0).ColumnName

col0.DataNavigateUrlField = dt.Columns(0).ColumnName

col0.DataNavigateUrlFormatString = "Javascript: var w =
window.open('ViewImage.aspx?ID={0}','','width=600,height=400');"

col0.HeaderText = "URL"

Me.DataGrid1.Columns.Add(col0)
