HyperLinkField vs Button

How do I make

<asp:HyperLinkField Text="Select" DataNavigateUrlFields="nPDID"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="DetailsViewEdit.aspx?ID={0}" />

look like

<asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-VerticalAlign="Top">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button ID="gvSelectButton" CommandName="Select" Text="Select" Runat="Server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

or how to make a button that will call the same thing as the hyperlink field.

thanx

the button is a server controls and triggered events. Usually, the hyperlink is a pointer to another place.

Awesome...

and because I hate it when people just say thanx and don't post the final solution:

aspx page

<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Button CommandName="Select" CommandArgument='<%# Eval("nPDID") %>' Text="Select" runat="server"/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

code behind:

protected void GridView1_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (e.CommandName == "Select")
{

Response.Redirect("DetailsViewEdit.aspx?ID=" + e.CommandArgument.ToString());
}

}

had to use tostring instead of CStr - VB vs C#

Thanx a bunch!
