Is there a way to insert Html into a gridview row?

Question

Using aspnet 3.5, c# - Is there a way to insert Html into a gridview row?

duplicate: stackoverflow.com/questions/431840/… . Aaron Daniels' answer of setting the HtmlDecode property of a BoundColumn worked well for me. — Despertar

Yes. Use the TemplateField, and then type your html directly into the markup. If the html is suppose to be dynamically created I would use a Literal instead of a Label.

<asp:GridView id="GridView1" runat="server">
    <Columns>
        <asp:TemplateField headertext="Column1">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <br />
                <h1>
                    <%# Eval ("DataColumnName") %>
                </h1>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
        <asp:TemplateField headertext="Column2">
            <ItemTemplate>
                <asp:Literal id="Literal1" runat="server" text='<%# Eval ("DataColumnName2") %>'></asp:Literal>
            </ItemTemplate>
        </asp:TemplateField>
    </Columns>
</asp:GridView>

Thanks! This worked. So did Steven's answer. Both are easy solutions.

Am going with this solution. Not hardcoding column position into my code and also consistent with the other ways I am dynamically populating my GridView: Literal theLit = (Literal)r.FindControl("Literal1"); theLit.Text=@"Make this bold";

Simply modify the Text property of a cell.

I haven't tested this, but you should be able to add a Label control to the GridView cell. Then write your HTML to the Label's Text property. The Label should render the HTML.

Had tried this: it just prints out the html as text, is : Make this bold</> with the view source using the asci chars for < and > and /

Raúl Roa Over a year ago

This is not a good approach. And also a Label wraps the text property values between a tag.

@Lansey , I tried it right after I posted and it worked for me. I used "hey hey" and the first hey was bolded and the second was not.
