Use EmailTo as hyperlink in radgrid

[Kevin]

I am able to use this method in asp.net grids but am switching over  to radgrids in new projects.  What happens is that when I click on it it should just open the email, but with the radgird it also wants to try to navigate to the email to as well.  How can I just use it as a way to open the ema

Hello Kevin,

Your code is working on my side.
Please check below code snippet.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
            OnUpdateCommand="RadGrid1_UpdateCommand">
            <MasterTableView>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                        <ItemTemplate>

                            <asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl='<%# Bind("Name", "mailto:{0}") %>' Text='<%# Bind("Name") %>' runat="server" ID="hlEmail"></asp:HyperLink>
                        </ItemTemplate>

                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                    </telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
                </Columns>
            </MasterTableView>
        </telerik:RadGrid>

protected void RadGrid1_NeedDataSource(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)
    {
        dynamic data = new[] {
              new { ID = 1, Name ="name1"},
              new { ID = 2, Name = "name2"},
              new { ID = 3, Name = "name3"},
              new { ID = 4, Name = "Name4"},
               new { ID = 1, Name ="name5"}};
        RadGrid1.DataSource = data;
    }

    protected void TextBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }

    protected void RadGrid1_UpdateCommand(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridCommandEventArgs e)
    {

    }

HI,
It works and opens a email, but it also redirects the page as well to
"mailto:{0}")

with a asp.net grid it does not do this but a telerik grid leaves the page and tries to redirect it to above.

Hello Kevin,

Sorry but i am not able to reproduce the issue Then also please try with below code snippet.

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false" OnNeedDataSource="RadGrid1_NeedDataSource"
            OnUpdateCommand="RadGrid1_UpdateCommand">
            <MasterTableView>
                <Columns>
                    <telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:HyperLink NavigateUrl='<%# Bind("Name", "mailto:{0}") %>' Text='<%# Bind("Name") %>'
                                runat="server" ID="hlEmail"></asp:HyperLink>
                                <br />
                                <a href='<%# "mailto:" + Eval("Name") %>'><%# Eval("Name") %></a>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </telerik:GridTemplateColumn>
                    <telerik:GridEditCommandColumn>
