I've been having a lot of trouble with this ever since starting to

program with ASP.NET.







I have a hyperLinkColumn control that is encapsulated within a dataGrid

control column. What I want to do here is programmatically set the

navigateURL property of the hyperLinkColumn cell. Here's my scenario:







I've got a data grid that looks like this:







Date                 Employee







Monday             John



Tuesday            Chris



Wednesday        Mark







Date and Employee are the headers.







When an event handler is fired (through the onItemDataBound property),

two properties are passed to the event handler ( dataGrid and

DataGridItemEventArgs objects ). I had success in manipulating the

Employee column using the columns property of the dataGrid class.

However, when I tried to manipulate the data in the columns, it skipped

out the topmost cell and would only append the navigateURL value to the

second and third cells (Chris and Mark). Does anyone know why this

happens?







In case this is not clear, I've posted a code snippet below:







sub formatData( server as object, e as dataGridItemEventArgs )



                       



            if ( e.item.itemType <> listItemType.header AND

e.item.itemType <> listItemType.footer ) then



                        server.columns( 1 ).navigateURL =3D

"http://www.thisURL.com"



            end if







end sub







This event handler is fired when data is bound to the data grid.







Thanks.
