convert to hyperlink for one of the column

[Paul]

I have a grid that are being generated from supplied data source with AutoGenerateColumns = true. The first column has  edit button and the rest of the columns are being generated from the data source which works fine.

However, for one of the column in the data source, if the column name is certain name, it needs to be changed to hyperlink and provide link information. It looks like those generated columns are not available in ItemDataBound or I am not doing this right.

Can you help?

Hello,

Please check below code snippet in this sample code i have convert ('Name') column in HyperlinkColumn.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
            AutoGenerateColumns="true" OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound">
            <MasterTableView CommandItemDisplay="Top">

            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)

        {

          


            if (e.Item is GridDataItem)

            {

                GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;

                TableCell cell = item["Name"];

                HyperLink h1 = new HyperLink();

                h1.NavigateUrl = "http://www.google.co.in/" + item["Name"].Text;

                h1.Text = item["Name"].Text;

                cell.Controls.Add(h1);

            }

        }

 

 

 

 protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)

        {

            dynamic data = new[] {

                new { ID = 1, Name ="Name1"},

                new { ID = 2, Name = "Name2"},

                new { ID = 3, Name = "Name3"},

                new { ID = 4, Name = "Name4"},

                new { ID = 5, Name = "Name5"}

            };

 

            RadGrid1.DataSource = data;

        }

let me know if any concern.

Thanks,

That works but, I need to do one more which is to check if the column exists first and e.Item.OwnerTableView.Columns.FindByUniqueNameSafe does not finds it. Do I need to manually set it?

Hi Paul,

The Columns collection contains only the columns you defined/added to the MasterTableView.Columns. Try searching the AutoGenerated or RenderColumns collection and see if this works for you.
