Email Link for Name Field in Datagrid

• Two fields are to be combined into one. ie: Email field and Name field should be displayed as Name field with Hyperlink to its email
• To perform this task we need to create email field as invisible field.
• And we need to convert Name field to template field which consist of two controls Label which is invisible and a hyperlink control.

private void DataGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender,

System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs e)

{

HyperLink hlk = new HyperLink();

Label lblName = new Label();

Label lblEmail = new Label();

if(e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item ||

e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)

{

hlk =(HyperLink) e.Item.Cells[1].FindControl("HyperLink1");

if(hlk != null)

{

lblName =(Label) e.Item.Cells[1].FindControl("lblName");

lblEmail =(Label)

e.Item.Cells[2].FindControl("lblEmail");

if(lblName != null )

{

hlk.Text = lblName.Text;

if(lblEmail != null)

hlk.NavigateUrl = "mailto:" + lblEmail.Text;

else

hlk.NavigateUrl = "mailto: noemail@email.com";

}

}
