Hyperlinks in Data Grid View?

Question

Visual Studio 2008 with C#

I have connected to an access database where one of the fields is a hyperlink to a pdf file.

When this is opened in the data grid view only the path to the file is displayed as text and not the desired hyperlink.

How do I disply the hyperlink in data grid view.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Suthish It is a web application using ASP.net and C#. The field in the database is set to hyperlink and when clicked it opens the pdf file. When I connect to this from ASP.net it displays the link as plain text and not the desired hyperlink. It only takes a few minutes to set up why not give it a try and let me know how you get on.

There are forums for Windows Forms WPF and Silverlight. I assume your question is not about an ASP.Net applicaiton since you say DataGridView. If your application is a Windows Forms application then it would help to put the question in that forum. Assuming it is a Windows Forms application then it appears that you can use a LinkLabel control.

You can use the Itemtemplate tag in gridview and add asp.net Hiperlink control to it and bind its NavigateURL property to you desired file using Eval.
