This works..but if i have beaviors enabled then if i sort it gives me an object reference error. I am adding the above said code to InitializeRow .

Is there a way to make behaviors work on child grid when you have hyperlinks in child grid?

Hi dev_here, 

It should look something similar to:

link.Text = ((DataRowView)(((TemplateContainer)container).DataItem)).Row["Name"].ToString();

Let me know if this works for you.

Ok that works but how do i get the text to show up in the column?

For example the code in .aspx

<asp:HyperLink ID="link" runat="server" ForeColor="blue" Text='<% #DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.Name")  %>'>

</asp:HyperLink>

How can i change it to code behind:

link.Text=DataBinder.Eval(Container,"DataItem.Name")?????

Hi dev_here,

You could create a TemplatedDataField in the child grid like in the RowIslandPopulating event handler like this:

TemplateDataField col = new TemplateDataField();
col.ItemTemplate = new ActionChildItemTemplate();
col.Key = "TemplatedColumn";

And here is sample ActionChildItemTemplate class:

public class ActionChildItemTemplate : ITemplate
{

#region ITemplate Member

    public void InstantiateIn(Control container)
    {
        HyperLink link = new HyperLink();
        link.ID = "link";
        link.ForeColor = Color.Blue;

        container.Controls.Add(link);
    }

#endregion

}

Hope this helps.

What if i need this hyperlink column to be in a child grid using manual on demand?

Can you give me an example of how I would then define the column in child grid?
