Want to Add Hyperlink to Dynamically Created Gridview 1

[DotNetDunce]

I have a dynamically created gridview that I would like to add a column to. When I add this column I want it to contain hyperlinks linking to a detail page. Does anyone know how to do this in an easy to understand way?

Thanks,

Melinda

dynamic controls must be generated in the Init stage on every server ca. the links will be geneated in the GridView_RowDataBound event. should look something like this:

public class MyPage : Page
{
   protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
   {
      base.OnInit(e);

      GridView grid = new GridView();
      grid.RowDataBound += new GridViewRowDataBoundEventHandler(grid_RowDataBound);
      grid.DataSource = //get data (assume datatable);
      grid.DataBind();

      this.Controls.Add(grid);
   }

   private void RowDataBound(object sender, RowDataBoundEventArgs e)
   {
      if(e.Row.RowType == RowType.DataRow)
      {
         //assume data table was bound
         DataRowView row = (DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;

         HyperLink link = new HyperLink();
         link.Text = row["Link Text"];
         link.NavigateUrl = row["URL"];

         e.Row.Cells[0].Controls.Add(link);
      }
   }
}
