I want to be able to show a link, but have the display text be something different.
This is what I want to see <a href="http://www.googe.com">Google</html>
What's the correct way to do that? Preferably without having to override some on row creating event.

Hi Pavel,
To show HTML links you can use the HTML-like text formatting with a regular textbox column. Please note that each value must start with the "<html>" tag. In addition, you need to set the DisableHTMLRendering property to false:

What about actually setting the HTML text?
Do I need to create a custom field in my data source that will contain HTML?
Or is there a way to say something like this $"<a href='{LinkUrl}">{LinkTitle}</html>"

Hi Pavel,
You can set the string in the CellFormatting event as well:

How do we handle data bound columns?

Hello, Roger,
The columns in RadGridView can be bound to a specific field from the applied DataSource by the column's FieldName property. This will ensure that the cell's Value will store the respective content from the DataBountItem, e.g. Title in your case. If you want this Title to be displayed as a hyperlink, feel free to use the suggested approach by Dimitar. It is necessary to handle the CellFormatting event, set the DisableHTMLRendering property to false for the desired cells and set the CellElement.Text to the appropriate HTML-like content, specifying the href and title text.
In case you are still not obtaining the desired result, it would be greatly appreciated if you can provide more information about the precise case, the exact data that you have and the exact requirement that you are trying to achieve. Thus, we would get better understanding of the precise case and think about an appropriate solution.
You can also submit a support ticket from your account and thus our support engineers would gladly assista you:

So, that's not quite as clean as I wanted, so I just added a property to Model class called UrlHtml that returns the properly formatted strring.
