I have a small question. I'm trying to display the user email addressin a datagrid for winform and i have tried everything to  make it look like a link and it doesnt work.  All I want is the user to be able to click the email address to be able to sendan email to the selected address.  
Can anyone help me out here by letting meknow whats the format to use?    Remember I'm looking for the Radgridview for Winforms not the ASP.net one..


Thanks in advance

Try this...I just wrote this code a few minutes ago for my project.

If TypeOf e.CellElement.ColumnInfo Is GridViewTextBoxColumn AndAlso Not _
           (TypeOf e.CellElement.RowElement Is GridTableHeaderRowElement) AndAlso _
               e.Column.Name.ToUpper = "UPDATEDBY" Then
 
           e.CellElement.DisableHTMLRendering = False
           e.CellElement.Text = "<html><a href=""mailto:" & e.Row.DataBoundItem("emailaddress") & """>" & e.Row.DataBoundItem("updatedby") & "</a></html>"
 
 
End If

Hello Jose R,

There is no built-in hyperlink column in RadGridView. We plan to add this feature in one of our upcoming releases. However, the following code library article demonstrates how to create one. I hope it helps.

Should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to ask.
 
All the best,
