Datagrid hyperlinks Messages   Related Types This message was discovered on microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet. Post a new message to this list... Graeme Hello I thought if I linked a datagrid column to a field containing something like this ... <a href="http://www.google.com"" target="_blank">http://www.google.com"; target="_blank">http://www.google.com</a> ... that it might appear hyperlinkable in the grid. But alas, no. What I currently have is a non-template bound column connecting a data field which may contain, amongst other text, a URL (or maybe an Email address). Is there any way to have just the URL part hyperlinkable so user can click and redirect? Or do I HAVE to use a Hyperlink column for this? Problem I see here is that I only want the URL part hyperlinkable; not the complete text (which could be several sentences). Any ideas most welcome. Thanks Graeme Reply to this message...        Konrad Rotuski "Graeme" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> wrote in message news:Click here to reveal e-mail address...
