Is there a way to place a hyperlink in the header column of a Radgrid View.

Some of my columns contain a multiple sets of abbreviations... What makes this worse is that each company (which is an attribute of the page) have different abbreviations. What I wanted to do was make a column header that can be clicked that does the sorting with a question mark on the end that hyperlinks to an information page that gives the specific information about the abbreviations.

I tried to do this similar to how it would be done with an ordinary gridview:
 <telerik:GridBoundColumn DataField="Availability" 
      FilterControlAltText="Filter Availability column" FilterControlWidth="20px" 
      HeaderText="Status<a href='~/Reports/CodeList.aspx?coid=<%#Session("CoID")%>&property=status' target='_blank'>?</a>"; 
      SortExpression="Availability" UniqueName="Availability">
</telerik:GridBoundColumn>

The error that I get is: 

Parser Error

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. 
Parser Error Message: Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumnCollection must have items of type 'Telerik.Web.UI.GridColumn'. 'a' is of type 'System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlAnchor'.
 

Is there anyway to actually place a hyperlink in the column header?

Hello,

One suggestion is that you can add the HyperLink in column header in the ItemCreated event dynamically. Here is the sample code.
C#:
protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
 if (e.Item is GridHeaderItem)
 {
  GridHeaderItem item = (GridHeaderItem)e.Item;
  HtmlAnchor a = new HtmlAnchor();
  a.InnerText = "text";
  a.HRef = "/Reports/CodeList.aspx?coid=<%#Session("CoID")";
  item["Availability"].Controls.Add(a);
 }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

I was really hoping to be able to do it in the markup rather than creating it, then adjusting the grid, but I guess I will just have to do it this way. Thanks so much.
