Hi.I have a code here where it will capture value from textbox and add in a temporary gridview (not sent to database).
My question is,when a value from textbox is added in the gridview,how to make that value in gridview as a link where it can search the value in google.

Any ideas guys?

XML

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Style="z-index: 106;
    left: 322px; position: absolute; top: 301px">
    <Columns>
    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Call Information">
    <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Label ID="LblName" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("name")%>'></asp:Label>
    </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>

    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="">
    <ItemTemplate>
    <asp:Button ID="BtnDelete" runat="server" Text="Clear" OnClick="BtnDelete_Click" />
    </ItemTemplate>
    </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>

Solution 1

couldn't you just do something like:

XML

<ItemTemplate>
<a href='http://www.google.com/#q=<%# Eval("name")%>'>
<%#Eval("name")%></a>
</ItemTemplate>

or you could bind it to a hyperlink control...
