integer data. I need to show these IDs (Integer values) data as hyperlinks so that the

There are two ways of doing this:

1. Using HyperLinkColumn colum, e.g:

<asp:DataGrid ID="dg" runat="server">
            <Columns>
                <asp:HyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~/more.aspx?id={0}" DataNavigateUrlField="id" DataTextField="name" />
            </Columns>
        </asp:DataGrid>

2. Using ItemTemplate and <a> tags

<asp:DataGrid ID="dg" runat="server">
            <Columns>                
                <asp:TemplateColumn>
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <a href="more.aspx?id=<%#Eval("id") %>"><%#Eval("Name") %></a>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateColumn>
            </Columns>            
        </asp:DataGrid>

In the above code "id" and "name" are the column names. Value in name column will be displayed with a hyperlink to more.aspx page with the value of id column in query string.
