Question

As a follow up to my previous question Putting together a tricky SQL query

since I now have the records returned as URL format, how can I display those as hyperlinks in my gridview? (this is how the client wants it done, not much I can say to change their mind)

My vb code is:

Dim pds As PagedDataSource = New PagedDataSource()
GridView1.DataSource = pds
GridView1.DataBind()

Thanks

You can use a TemplateColumn and build a standard hyperlink in the ItemTemplate.

<TemplateColumn>
   <ItemTemplate>
      <a href='<%#Eval("LinkUrl")%>'>Click me</a>
   </ItemTemplate>
</TemplateColumn>
