hyper link in DataGrid

[Alexander Kaplunov]

I have a DataGrid, which gets populated by DataSet.

DataGrid1.DataSource=ds;
DataGrid1.DataBind();

What I need to do is when the DataGrid is populated each item in first
column should be a link (or something clickable). I need to be able to know
when user has clicked on a particular item and then I can take some action.

Maybe I shouldn't use DataGrid? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Alex.

Hi,

Here is the sample.

<aspataGrid runat="server" id="DataGridID"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
...>

<Columns>
...
<asp:HyperLinkColumn Text="Hyperlink Text"
DataNavigateUrlField="SomeDataSourceField"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="/details.aspx?ID=
{0}"
Target="_blank" />
...
</Columns>
</aspataGrid>

on the ItemDataBound column you can raise ur method.

Alex,

What kind of action do you want to take when the link is clicked?

Make a DB call and repopulate the DataGrid with new stuff returned from DB.
