HyperlinkColumn Trouble

Aug 04, 2003 03:54 PM|LINK
I've got a DataGrid within which I have created a hyperlinkColumn. The problem is that the text within each of the cells is gonna be different depending on some variable. The thing is that I want to be able to bind data from a DataSet to the text that appears in the DataGrid using the DataBinder.eval("a_specific_column") within the text. This value also passes through a method, but is of no importance here Is this possible?

Why is it that a HyperlinkColumn does not allow the dataBinding function to work within its tags?

You can use Hypelink instead of HyperlinkColumn to make databinding work Take a look @ Method 4 How to use HyperLink Column of DataGrid?
