Conditinal hyperlink

[wdudek]

I have a column in the rad grid that has a tracking number, in some cases it is a ups tracking number that can be used in a hyperlink to go to their site and view information. In other cases it is for a differnt shipper and can't be used for any hyperlink. Assuming that I can determine when it is valid for a hyperlink is there a way to conditionally put a hyperlink into a column of the grid?

For example if the grid had 1 column "shipper"

Rows 1 and 2 would have a hyperlink in this column while row 3 would just have text.

Thanks

Bill

Hello Bill,

You can use ItemCreated with GridTemplateColumn to add desired control in desired cell. Here is an example:

<telerik:GridTemplateColumn UniqueName="MyColumn">
  <ItemTemplate></ItemTemplate>
</telerik:GridTemplateColumn>

...
if(e.Item is GridDataItem)
{
    if(your condition)
    {
       ((GridDataItem)e.Item)["MyColumn"].Controls.Add(MyControl1);
    }
    else
    {
        ((GridDataItem)e.Item)["MyColumn"].Controls.Add(MyControl2);
    }
}
...
