Good morning Experts,

Can a column in Gridview act differently based on conditions? Meaning, I want something like below

My last column should show a File if exists in Database as "Download" Link button" If not like a "Button" asking for "Do you want to attach a file"

Can we achieve something like this? If so please tell me how.

You can use the RowCreated or RowDataBound events to do stuff like this.

As RyanDev Commented, you can use GridView RowDataBound event, for sample code, check below similar question and answer
GridView Conditional Button Visibility[^]
and also check the MSDN documentation of GridView.RowDataBound Event[^]

Alright may be my question is not properly framed. I am not looking for conditional visibility . I am looking for conditional Control change. Meaning, Based on condition control should behave like a linkbutton or it should behave like a browse button.

you can check the condition in the event and then change the Text to Browse or Link Text, on button onclick event you can do the redirect to given link or open file browse dialog box
