Hi!

I want to display a hyperlink dynamically.

e.g In template field column I want to display a hyperlink based on the data bound value.
If the value of database column title is "true" I want to display hyperlink with the text "delete" and if the value is "false " I want to display the hyperlink with the text "verify".

I dont know how to use the if else statements in this grid view.

<a href="/KB/answers/Admin.aspx"?C_id=<%#Eval("Classified_ID")%> '> <%# Eval("Title") %>Verify</a>

Here is the code.
I want to change the text of this hyperlink based on "title " value, please let me know how I can achieve this.

XML

<asp:GridView ID="Manage_Classieds" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" BackColor="LightGoldenrodYellow"
               BorderColor="Tan" BorderWidth="1px" CellPadding="2" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="3" OnPageIndexChanging="GridView1_PageIndexChanging1"

               Font-Bold="False" Font-Names="Arial" Font-Size="9pt" ForeColor="Black" GridLines="None" ShowHeader="False">
               <FooterStyle BackColor="Tan" />
               <PagerStyle ForeColor="Black"
              BackColor="#C6C3C6"></PagerStyle>
                <Columns>
                   <asp:TemplateField>
                       <ItemTemplate>

                        <table width='600px' border='1'> <tr ><td ><b><%# Eval("Title")%></b></td><td ><a  href='Admin.aspx?C_id=<%#Eval("Classified_ID")%> '> <%# Eval("Title") %>Verify</a> </td></tr><tr ><td colspan="2" ><b>Description:</b>&nbsp;<%#Eval("Description")%></br><b>Price:</b>&nbsp;<%#Eval("Price")%></b> <br/><b> DateTime Uploaded:</b>&nbsp;<%#Eval("DateTime")%></b></td></tr><tr><td  align="right"colspan='2' ><a  href='DetailDescription.aspx?

                       </ItemTemplate>
                   </asp:TemplateField>
               </Columns>

Its Better for you To use case in your dataBase Query

SQL

CREATE  procedure Procedurename
(
@Query varchar(500)
)
as

declare @CaseSyntax varchar(500)
set @CaseSyntax='case CandidateDetails.IsFresher
when 0 then ''Fresher''
when 1 then ''Experience''
end as Isfresher '
exec ('select InterviewCategories.Category,CandidateDetails.CandidateID,CandidateDetails.FirstName+CandidateDetails.LastName as Name,
CandidateDetails.ContactNo,CandidateDetails.Email,'+ @CaseSyntax +'
,
Qualification.QualificationName,CONVERT(CHAR(10),CandidateDetails.CreatedOn, 105) as Date from CandidateDetails
inner join InterviewCategories on CandidateDetails.InterviewCategoryId = InterviewCategories.InterviewCategoryID
inner join Qualification on CandidateDetails.QualificationID = Qualification.QualificationId   '+@Query)

It will give you result as Required and then
and then in aspx Page You simply have to write

XML

<asp:HyperLink ID="hyp_Isfresher" NavigateUrl='<%#"~/Admin/CandidateExperienceDetails.aspx?Id="+Eval("CandidateID") %>'
                                               Text='<%#Eval("IsFresher")%>' runat="server"></asp:HyperLink>
