Hi,

I'm trying to replace the "status" value of a record in a GridView with a symbol but unsure how to go about it.

e.g. If the record has a status of "Inactive", then an asterisk[*] needs to appear next to the record; likewise a caret if is is "Featured".

Simple fix I know, just new to this game.. Any help greatly appreciated..

you can do this in rowdatabound event. get the row and find the cell you want then replace the cell text with * or caret as you wish

the following code i have take from one of my .vb file. it is for understanding purpose only do your changes wherever required

    Protected Sub grvSearch_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles grvSearch.RowDataBound
        Dim lblEvent As Label
        If (e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow) Then
            lblEvent = DirectCast(e.Row.Cells(0).Controls(1), Label)
            lblEvent.Text = "*"

        End If
    End Sub
