Hi Tina,

Try the following code snippet to show the gridboundcolumn as a hyperlink.In the case of adding controls to the cells of GridBoundColumn,you cannot use ItemCreated only, but a combination of ItemCreated and ItemDataBound. This is due to the fact that the control created in ItemCreated will be erased when data-binding this control. Also, if you create the control in ItemDataBound when the controls are created from ViewState, the grid will not raise ItemDataBound, and the control will not be created and would not raise postback events. The solution for such cases is to create the control in ItemDataBound and recreate this control if needed on ItemCreated for subsequent postbacks.

C#:
protected void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        HyperLink link = new HyperLink();
        link.Text = item["UniqueName"].Text; //accessing the GridBoundColumn to get the text
        link.NavigateUrl = "Radgrid1.aspx";
        item["UniqueName"].Controls.Add(link);
    }
}
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
    {
        GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
        HyperLink link = new HyperLink();
        link.Text = item["UniqueName"].Text; //accessing the GridBoundColumn to get the text
        link.NavigateUrl = "Radgrid1.aspx";
        item["UniqueName"].Controls.Add(link);
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.

Hi Tina,

I suppose you want to show a '*' symbol in the right side of the TextBox(BoundColumn in edit mode). Please try the following code snippet.

C#:
protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        GridEditableItem edit = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
        Label lbl = new Label();
        lbl.Text = "*";
        lbl.ForeColor = Color.Red;
        edit["UniqueName"].Controls.Add(lbl);     
    }
}

Thanks,
Shinu.
