When i am trying to bind data to a datalist, one of the columns has a hyperlink - thats fine

but for some reason, there is no text!, or there is but it doesnt seem to appear on the hyperlink! The link exists, you can click on it fine but there is no text! I have even tried changing the forecolor but that didnt make a difference

if i put some text in the "text" databinder of that control/element - there is text, it shows it

but the hyperlink option doesnt...any ideas?
