Controls in certain cells in a grid

[Jeremy Chapman]

I have a grid with several fields an many records. For fields that have a
large amount of text in them, I want to show a button that the user can
click which will show them the contents of the field in a seperate page, or
seperate control. How can I do this?

in your itemdatabound event handler add a hyperlink control to the
appropriate page.
HyperLink tb = new HyperLink();

tb.ForeColor = Color.Blue;

tb.Text = "Invalid";

tb.Font.Size = FontUnit.XXSmall;

tb.NavigateUrl = "Invalid.aspx";

e.Item.Controls[e.Item.Cells.Count - 1].Controls.Add(tb);

tb = null;
