Problem sorting the Hyperlink COlumn in text

[Uttam Dhakal]

I have creating a link in one of the gridcolumn.i have calcualted the link using some columns and some server side variables.
Now when i assign that value to the column i cannot sort and filter it as a string.
Is there a way i can use the Hyperlink Column which will have the String value while filtering and sorting.
So that i can have the links but when i filter and sort it it behaves as the string column only.

Hi,

One suggestion is that you can use a GridHyperLinkColumn with the SortExpression value matching the DataTextField property of the column.
aspx:

<telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataTextField="Id" NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com" HeaderText="Id" SortExpression="Id" />

Thanks,

main problem is my navigate url is not that simple.it is calculated based upon the values of columns which is provided as a stringbuilder collection and i have few server variables like current web.url and ID along with a URL that is hardcoded.
it is pretty complex to generate the URL i can't do it from client side.
Is there a way i can set the navigate URL property in Server Side Dynamically.

Hi,

You can set the NavigateUrl property in Server Side as follows.

ASPX:

<telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataTextField="Id" UniqueName="Id" HeaderText="Id" SortExpression="Id" />

C#:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem ditem = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        HyperLink hyper = (HyperLink)ditem["Id"].Controls[0];
        hyper.NavigateUrl="Your url";
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
