Email link in a GridView

[dgerdner]

I'm binding a sqldatasource to a gridview on a webpage. One of the column's is named contact_email.

I'd like to display that column's value with a hyperlink that will automatically open the client's email program, using the value in contact_email as the default "TO:" address.

Everything I've found so far fails to work. Any ideas?

I think you need to put that string as:
"mailto:xyz@abc.com".
This link will automatically open default mail application on client to compose new mail with 'To' address specifying 'xyz@abc.com'.

Sharing the best from my side...
