Just put a hyperlink button in the gridview and whenver you add the value from the text box to the grid. Just do it as below string str =  http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=XXXX&aq=f&aqi=g2g-s1g1g-s1g1g-s4&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai =; str.replace(XXXXtextbox1.text); finally store this string in the URL property of hyperlink button of the gridview. First try with the label itself if its doesnt work put the hyperlink button and test it. Surely it should work dont forget to mark this post as answered or mark it as good post.

Its so simple. If you type something in google.com for example I typed textbox in google and clicked search. You can see the link in addressbar like http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=textbox&aq=f&aqi=g2g-s1g1g-s1g1g-s4&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai = so just concatenate the textbox.text in the above link so that it will directly search the google wiht the appropriate text. dont forget to mark this post as answered or mark it as good post.
