[RESOLVED] basic datagrid question

[HoraShadow]

I'm just starting with datagrids.

I have to make a list of items. Each item will have a link. But I want the link of the item to have a custom value, not present in the dataset as an item.

All the essays I've found about asp.net, end up with:

datagrid.datasource = dataset
datagrid.databind()

Now, I need to add custom values to that link, ex: default.aspx?dsRow=4 , where the dsrow is the number of the row in the dataset.

How could I do that?

Thanks for reading,

You can loop through the items in the ItemDataBound event. Here is a snippet from a page I'm working on:

Private Sub dgAddDeleteEmployees_ItemDataBound1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridItemEventArgs) Handles dgAddDeleteEmployees.ItemDataBound
 
        If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.AlternatingItem Or e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Item Then
            e.Item.Cells(2).Text = "<a class=""dgLinks"" href=""" & "EmployeeDetails.aspx?login=" & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("LoginId").ToString() & "&EmpName=" & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("EmpName").ToString() & "&Email=" & dt.Rows(e.Item.ItemIndex).Item("EmpMail").ToString() & """>" & Edit & "</a>"
        End If
 
    End Sub

Nice one!
