I have searched and searched! How can I replace the linkbutton text with the word "link" instead of the contents(url) of the database show up?

Thanks for your help.

You can use Eval to bind the same linkbutton. Try this:

ASP.NET

<asp:linkbutton id="ImgLnk" runat="server" onclick="lnkCustomer_Click" commandname="CustomerLink" text='<%# Eval("ImgLnk") %>' />

Remember, URL is the column in your gridview datasource which will contain the URL's for all the rows.

Thank you for your time to suggest an answer. This code works the same so I don't think I understand what you mean. Would you please clarify how I can replace the text on the linkbutton to say "link" instead of saying the entire URL in the datasource. You make a good point that the datasource does contain the URL's and not the actual picture.
