How to add Hyperlink in gridview column in windows application developed in c#

[samnine]

I am developing windows application using visual studio 2008 and c#.

I have a GRIDVIEW, but I am not sure how to make a specific column of gridview as hyperlink.
For Example: First column of my grid view is Item ID and if user clicks any of the value in this column a new form should open.

Below is the code of my GIRDVIEW

DataSet ds;
        DataSet ds3;
 
        public void FillGridView(int LotID)
        {
            clsPurchase obj = new clsPurchase();
            ds = obj.GetData("Select a.LotItemID as 'Item ID',c.CompanyName as Client,a.Description,convert(varchar, a.LotItemAddedDate, 3) as 'Date',a.Weight,a.Rate,a.Amount from dbo.Lot_Items a left join Client c on a.ClientID = c.ClientID where LotID = " + LotID + "");
            ds3 = new DataSet();
            DataTable dt3 = ds3.Tables.Add();
            dt3.Columns.Add("Item ID", typeof(string));
            dt3.Columns.Add("Client", typeof(string));
            dt3.Columns.Add("Description", typeof(string));
            dt3.Columns.Add("Date", typeof(string));
            dt3.Columns.Add("Weight", typeof(double));
            dt3.Columns.Add("Rate", typeof(double));
            dt3.Columns.Add("Amount", typeof(double));
 
 
            DataGridViewCellStyle style = new DataGridViewCellStyle();
            style.Font = new Font(dataGridView1.Font, FontStyle.Bold);
 
            int i = 0;
            double WeightTotal = 0.00;
            double RateTotal = 0.00;
            double AmountTotal = 0.00;
            if (ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count > 0)
            {
                foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows)
                {
                    dt3.Rows.Add(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Item ID"].ToString(), ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Client"].ToString(), ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Description"].ToString(), ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Date"].ToString(), ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Weight"].ToString(), ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Rate"].ToString(), ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Amount"].ToString());
                    WeightTotal = WeightTotal + Convert.ToDouble(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Weight"].ToString());
                    RateTotal = RateTotal + Convert.ToDouble(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Rate"].ToString());
                    AmountTotal = AmountTotal + Convert.ToDouble(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Amount"].ToString());
                    i = i + 1;
                }
                dt3.Rows.Add("Total", "", "", "", WeightTotal.ToString(), RateTotal.ToString(), AmountTotal.ToString());
                //dataGridView1.Rows[0].DefaultCellStyle = style;    
                dataGridView1.DataSource = ds3.Tables[0];
                dataGridView1.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle = style;
                dataGridView1.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 15);
                //dataGridView1.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
                dataGridView1.Rows[i].DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
                this.dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 9);
                this.dataGridView1.ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Font = new Font("Tahoma", 9);
                this.dataGridView1.ReadOnly = true;
 
            }
        }
 
 

Thanks in advance.

You should probably have posted this in one of the .NET forums.
You can links using the RowDatabound events http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...databound.aspx

But if you want to navigate to other pages within your application then you may want an approach like

i) make the column in your gridview a HyperLinkField.
ii) Set the DataNavigateURLFields to values that you can link to in the new page (most likely the unique identifiers) e.g clientId
iii)Set the DataNavigateUrlFormatString to the new page with the real values substituted in e.g yourNewPage.aspx?clientId=someValue

Alternatively you can read about how others do the whole master detail data presentation solution e.g http://mattberseth.com/blog/2008/04/..._gridview.html
