Editting GridHyperLinkColumn NavigateUrl in codebehind

[Jim]

Hi,
I would like to edit a gridhyperlinkcolumn's navigateurl in my code behind. I have tried:

RadGrid grid = (RadGrid)sender;
GridColumn column = grid.Columns.FindByUniqueName("ViewBus");
(column as GridHyperLinkColumn).NavigateUrl = "www.google.ca";

in both the PreRender and DataBound events. Any suggestions?

Hello,

You can try the following code snippet.
CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
 {
    if (e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == GridItemType.AlternatingItem)
     {
      GridDataItem dataItem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
      //get the Hyperlink using the Column uniqueName
      HyperLink hyperLink = (HyperLink)dataItem["CompanyName"].Controls[0];
      hyperLink.NavigateUrl = "http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/introduction.html";
     }
 }

Thanks,
Princy.

I did this exactly and it still doesn't work. Now, I know it's 2016, maybe something has changed but I wouldn't think that this would have....

Hello Matt,

Please make sure that the "ColumnName" you are using matches the UniqueName of the GridHyperLinkColumn - it is case-sensitive. Also, you can check the attached web site sample and try accessing the generated HyperLink there.
