GridView - Formatting a Field

[Guest]

I have bound a Gridview to a DataTable. On a couple of the fields I want to
not display all the characters of the field....I want to display "*" for 5
characters and then what ever are the last for characters of this particular
field.

The HTML code looks like the following for the field in question...

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Employee ID" SortExpression="EMPLOYEE_ID">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("EMPLOYEE_ID")
%>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

I tried to "*****" + Bind("EMPLOYEE_ID") .Substring(5) but does not like
this.

How do alter the format to be ***** + las 4 characters of the field?

I figured this out...

"**" + Eval("EMPLOYEE_ID").ToString().Substring(5)
