Hi
I have my grid in asp.net C# having data populated from data source,
now grid has some columns, there is a column, which has values in 1, 2 or 3 coming from db, i want, if it is 1 then it should display FSL instead of 1, if it is 2 then BTD etc, how can i apply checks from c# or in asp, please help.

Make that a Template column and put in a label:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="HeaderText">
  <ItemTemplate>
     <asp:Label ID="lbl" runat="server" ></asp:Label>
  </ItemTemplate>

And then you get it in the RowDataBound event of the Gridview:

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        DataRow dr = ((DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem).Row;
        if(dr["ColumnName"].ToString() == "1" )
        {
          ((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lbl")).Text = "FSL";
        }
        else if(dr["ColumnName"].ToString() == "2" )
        {
          ((Label)e.Row.FindControl("lbl")).Text = "BTD";
        }
    }
}
