How to perform functions upon 'bound' data? (asp .net)

[murdock]

Is there a way to perform functions upon databound data that is to be
used in a GridView? For example, in the following code where I am using
a GridView to display a resulting asp:SqlDataSource

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AllowPaging="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="4"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ForeColor="#333333"
GridLines="None" Height="402px" Width="612px" AllowSorting="True"
PageSize="50">
<FooterStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="True"
ForeColor="White" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Field1"
HeaderText="Switch" SortExpression="Field1" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Field2"
HeaderText="DateOfPeg" SortExpression="Field2" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Field3"
HeaderText="TimeInterval" SortExpression="Field3" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Field4"
HeaderText="Treatment" SortExpression="Field4" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Field5"
HeaderText="Quantity" SortExpression="Field5" />
</Columns>
<SelectedRowStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" ForeColor="Navy"
Font-Bold="True" />
<PagerStyle BackColor="#FFCC66" ForeColor="#333333"
HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<HeaderStyle BackColor="#990000" Font-Bold="True"
ForeColor="White" />
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" />
<RowStyle BackColor="#FFFBD6" ForeColor="#333333" />
</asp:GridView>

Is there something in Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition on the control
itself (somewhere in the properties) to perform an 'action' on a field
prior to insertion?

For example, if you have something formatted oddly in the dataset, and
you have a string Field1 in format "abcdefg" and you wanted to strip
"efg" before putting it into the gridview in the appropriate column.

See the following link. there are lot of examples on how you can format data
in bound and create events of grid view.
