DataGrid Control Question

[Samuel Shulman]

Hi

I added a number of columns to the DataGrid control and I binded them to
ceratin columns in the DataView object however I want to fill the URL of the
HyperLink type column and I want to add images to the image column

What is the normal way of doing that?

Samuel,

The most flexible is to handle ItemDataBound event in code-behind. The event
handler gets a reference to the item (row) of the datagrid. You can set any
properties of the cells as you wish.

Thank you for your response,

I am still not sure which are the properties to set (the image path and the
URL) is it the Celles(Index) of the relevant row?

Thank you,
Samuel

Cells(Index) will point you to a cell. The content of the cell depends on
it's type. If you are not sure what is inside, you can always set a
breakpoint somewhere in the ItemDataBound event and explore the content of
the cell in the debugger.

Can't figure out the type of the specific cell (the type I see is
DataControlFieldCell )

and this doesn't help at all
