Question

I want to add some text to a boundfield build in the code behind without writing any code in the code behind.

example
I receive “overflow” in a specific field, and i’d like to display “stack overflow” and if i receive “house” i want to display “stack house”

is there a property to put text behind or after whatever comes in the boundfield ?

Use a custom column.

  <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="MyColumn">
    <ItemTemplate> 
         stack <asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%#Eval("myField")%>" />
    </ItemTemplate>
  </asp:TemplateField>
