Hyperlink column? - C# / C Sharp

Gary

I have a bound Datagrid in my Windows Application.
Is it possible to have one of the bound columns in the grid behave as a
hyperlink, so that when clicked, it opens up a new window with some info?

Any pointers/suggestions?

Yes, but you have to customize the columns that are displayed yourself
rather than just using the default binding. If you click on the button next
to the Columns property in the Property window for a DataGridView control
it will bring up the columns editor. From there you can add columns of
various types. One of the column types is a DataGridViewLinkColumn.
