bound HyperLinkColumn produces 3 columns

[John A Grandy]

why is it that the following DataGrid produces 3 columns ? i expected only 1
column !





<aspataGrid ID="dg1" Runat="server">

<Columns>

<asp:HyperLinkColumn Visible="True" DataTextField="urlText"
DataNavigateUrlField="urlNavigate" />

</Columns>

</aspataGrid>





for each DataGrid row, the left-most column is a navigable hyperlink, the
middle column displays the plain-text value of the DataSource's "urlText"
DataColumn, and the right-most column displays the plain-text value of the
DataSource's "urlNavigate" DataColumn ...

Hi John,

Is it using autogeneratecolumns? Try switching that off:

<asp:datagrid ID="dg1" Runat="server"
autogeneratecolumns="False">
<columns>
<asp:hyperlinkcolumn DataNavigateUrlField="urlNavigate"
DataTextField="urlText"></asp:hyperlinkcolumn>
</columns>
</asp:datagrid>
