Hello Michael,

Please test the following modification:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    GridDataItem item = e.Item as GridDataItem;
    if (item != null)
    {
        LinkButton button = item["ActivateColumn"].Controls[0] as LinkButton;
        button.Text = "xxxxx";
        button.CommandName = "XXX";
    }
}

I hope this helps.
