HyperlinkColumn = Email!

Hi all,

I am trying to create an email link using the HyperLinkColumn in a DataGrid.
Is their anyway i can do this using a DataBinding expression in the .aspx?

Or will i have to do it in the CodeBehind?

So far i have:
<asp:HyperLinkC olumn HeaderText="Ema il:" DataTextField=" Email"
DataNavigateUrl Field="Email"/>
This generates me@myemail.com. I need to prepend the "mailto:" attribute.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi,

you'd want to use DataNavigateUrl FormatString also

Something like:
DataNavigateUrl FormatString="m ailto:{0}"

I have a style sheet for my site. It has various classes in it. It has <A: styles defined for all anchor tags. I have a datagrid in ASP.NET with a stylesheet linked to the page. It defines links a yellow which is what I normally won't but in this case I want to override the link color and can't seem to do it. I set the forecolor in itemstyle prop. But it doesn't work.

I tried adding the <ItemStyle> to the HyperLinkColumn tag but it did not work, the whole of the link is displayed on one line with the column width getting extended. ...
