How to set GridView column as a hyperlink?

[Curtis360it]

How can I make a column in my GridView a hyperlink if the GridView doesn't have a datasource until runtime?

Do you know what the columns will be prior to it being bound?

I do but the the program won't know until runtime.

If you know what columns there will be, then you can tell your application by using bound columns.

^^ create the bound columns on the front end

What I actually ended up doing was creating the hyperlink at the begining of each row on the GridView1_RowDataBound event.

Dim h1 As New HyperLink()
Dim DocPath As String

If e.Row.Cells(0).Text <> "document_uid" And e.Row.Cells(0).Text <> "&nbsp;" Then
DocPath = PopulateURL(e.Row.Cells(0).Text)
h1.Text = e.Row.Cells(1).Text
h1.NavigateUrl = DocPath
End If

e.Row.Cells(1).Controls.Add(h1)
