Programmatically create GridTemplateColumns

[Mark Holdt]

Dear Telerik team,

I would like to achieve the following:

within the RadGrid, programmatically add a "Name" column with a hyperlink that links to a certain page. How do I achieve this programmatically?

So far I have added columns via the GridBoundColumn without much trouble:

e.g.  GridBoundColumn pname2;

        pname2 = new GridBoundColumn();

        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(pname2);

        pname2.DataField = "Total";

        pname2.HeaderText = "Total";

However, I would like to add a column that has a hyperlink property also set. I assume I will have to use a GridTemplateColumn; i.e.

  GridTemplateColumn pname;

        pname = new GridTemplateColumn();

        RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Columns.Add(pname);

        pname.DataField = "Name";

        pname.HeaderText = "Name";

....?

How do I achieve this?

Thank you

Mark

Hello Mark,

To create a template dynamically, you must define a custom class that implements the ITemplate interface. Then you can assign an instance of this class to the ItemTemplate or EditTemplateTemplate property of the GridTemplateColumn object.
