Converting a column in a grid to link

[John Doe]

Hi I want to convert a column to a link. All examples I
have seen works with bound columns. I have the following
grid:
<asp:datagrid runat="server" id="__theDetail sGrid"
cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"
OnItemDataBound ="Details_Item_ Bound">
</asp:datagrid>

It is bound during runtime to a DataTable that is bound to
a SqlDataAdapter. The Details_Item_Bo und function changes
the background color based on a value. I have been able to
get that to work with the following code:

private void Details_Item_Bo und(object sender,
DataGridItemEve ntArgs e)
{
if((e.Item.Item Type == ListItemType.It em) ||
(e.Item.ItemTyp e == ListItemType.Al ternatingItem))
{
if(e.Item.Cells[1].Text == "FAILED")
{
foreach(TableCe ll c in e.Item.Cells)
{
c.BackColor = System.Drawing. Color.Red;
}
}
}
}
}

Basically what I would like to do is to set the text in
column number 3 to a hypertext link that will point to
another page if the value is "FAILED" in column 1
Hope you guys understand what I would like to acomplish.

I think I understand what you want.

Can you do this, or something along this idea?:

private void Details_Item_Bo und(object sender,

DataGridItemEve ntArgs e)
{
if((e.Item.Item Type == ListItemType.It em) ||
(e.Item.ItemTyp e == ListItemType.Al ternatingItem))
{
if(e.Item.Cells[1].Text == "FAILED")
{
//Add this to make the 4th column (3rd index) a link.
e.Item.Cells[3].Text = "<a href=\"AnotherP age.aspx\">" +
e.Item.Cells[3].Text + "</a>";
foreach(TableCe ll c in e.Item.Cells)
{
c.BackColor = System.Drawing. Color.Red;
}
}
}
}
