HyperlinkColumn = Email!

[Adam J Knight]

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:HyperLinkColumn HeaderText="Email:" DataTextField="Email"
DataNavigateUrlField="Email"/>
This generates [e-mail]. I need to prepend the "mailto:" attribute.

Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Adam

Hi,

you'd want to use DataNavigateUrlFormatString also

Something like:
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="mailto:{0}"
