Hello everyone!!
this is lalit.Im facing a problem in gridview control.
The problem is in the following line of code in C# code.

dRowBasicPortFolio[2] = "<A href='../EventsCalendar/default.aspx?company=" + dRow[13] + "'>" + dRow[3] + "</a>"

I want to display the content of dRow[3] between 2 plus as a hyperlink in a gridview column in VC# 2005 but its not working.

It is giving the result in string form instead of link to some other web page(say ../EventsCalendar/default.aspx).Iam getting the following string as a result which is

 "<A href='../EventsCalendar/default.aspx?company=" + dRow[13] + "'>" + dRow[3] + "</a>"

on a cell of a specific GridView column.
In short just tell me in which way by using the following code

dRowBasicPortFolio[2] = "<A href='../EventsCalendar/default.aspx?company=" + dRow[13] + "'>" + dRow[3] + "</a>"

how could i get the hyperlink (dRow[3]) get stored in dRowBasicPortFolio[2] DataRow. The problem is the whole string("<A href='../EventsCalendar/default.aspx?company=" + dRow[13] + "' value of dRow[3] ""</a>") is getting getting stored on dRowBasicPortFolio[2] and displayed on cells of a specific gridveiw column.
one thing to mention that iam getting the value of dRow[3] but not as a hyperlink on a gridview column.

I would specifically like to request Mr. DEEPESH JAIN and PLANOIE to carefully consider and solve my problem as they are the most experienced guys in problem solving in the forum
Please help me out if you can. Its very urgent.

You can just use the hyperlinkfield in the GridView control. You just need to set its parameters properly for it to be working the way you want it to. Here's my example.

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("linktext");
        dt.Columns.Add("linktarget");
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            dt.Rows.Add(new string[] {"google", "http://www.google.com"});
        }

        GridView1.DataSource = dt;
        HyperLinkField hfield = ((HyperLinkField)GridView1.Columns[0]);
        hfield.DataNavigateUrlFields = new string[]{dt.Columns[0].ColumnName,dt.Columns[1].ColumnName};
        hfield.DataNavigateUrlFormatString = "{1}";
        hfield.DataTextField = hfield.DataNavigateUrlFields[0];
        GridView1.DataBind();


I basically create a gridview control and add a hyperlinkfield. Paste this code into the PageLoad event and see how it work.

Hope this helps.
