Grid View for ASP.NET Web Forms - How to display a hyperlink based on several cell values

This example demonstrates how to configure a grid column's data item template to display a hyperlink based on several cell values.

For an example on how to implement a similar functionality based on an unbound GridViewDataHyperLinkColumn, refer to the following example: Grid View for ASP.NET Web Forms - How to create a HyperLink column whose URL depends on several column values

Implementation Details

The example application illustrates a common use case scenario when values from several data fields are used to generate the URL and/or display text of a hyperlink displayed within a grid cell.

Two equivalent techniques are demonstrated:

1. Based on the ASPxHyperLink control. The control's NavigateUrl property value includes the processed row's KeyValue property value.

2. Based on the <a> HTML element. The server GetRowValue method calculates the href parameter's value.
