how to render html inside gridview cells

Set the HTMLEncode = "false" property and it will work

i have autogenrated columns=true. Html Encode property of which control ???

it the gridview`s BoundField/coulum; you cannot use autogenrated columns=true

I m adding html link tag in the datatable and then binding it to gridview & in the gridview autogeneratedcolumns=true. But i want gridview to show the links
Thanks

does the link is the content (data) from a database column column???
bacause you could add a HyperLinkField has a coulum (EmployeeID is the column name), you dont have to manipulate the datatable.

<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="EmployeeID"
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="AccountantHoursDetail.aspx?EmployeeID={0} &Subj=Preparing and Maintaining Accounting"
Text="test" />

in rowdatabound of gv

replace < with < and > with >

no i have to dynamically create the URL after i get the results from my database. Here is code

 string Value,EmpID,Subj,str;
            int row,column;
            for(row=0;row<dt.Rows.Count;row++)
            {
                for(column=2;column<dt.Columns.Count-1;column++)

                {
                 
                    Value=Convert.ToString(dt.Rows[row][column]);
                    EmpID=Convert.ToString(dt.Rows[row][0]);
                    Subj=Convert.ToString(dt.Columns[column].ColumnName);

                    str = "<a Href=AccountantHoursDetail.aspx?EmployeeID=" + EmpID.ToString() + "&Subj=" + Subj.ToString() + ">" + Value.ToString() + "</a>";
                                                       
                    dt.Columns[column].ReadOnly = false;
                   
                    dt.Rows[row][column] = str.ToString();

after this i bind my datatable to the gridview.

informaniac, i think you should use the code snippet...
infomaniac, is solution is if your data is html formated, mine (the HyperLinkField ) is if you just what to add a link to each row the grid view (and keep autogeneratedcolumns=true)

well you could pass multiple parameter, use the power of the comma

Thanks but
I can not add hyperlink field because i have to dynamically create the parameters and then over write my existing datatable and then i bind this datatable to the gridview

informaniac can you please give me an example

well, now i see exacly what you whant ton do...
i think you will find that one interesting. you will be able to use the replace function to replace the HTML code for < and > using this.

Do you mean this replacement inside cell

 cell.Text.Replace("<", "&lt");
 cell.Text.Replace(">", "&gt");

but it does not seem to work either.

humm, i thoug that would work.
What if you loop the cell s controls??? ther may also the / char to replace..
Cell.Controls
