Hyperlink in datagrid

I am inserting record in datagrid by binding it with data table and I had set autogenerate field ON for datagrid. Now all I want is first column which will comes in datagrid should be hyperlink field and when I will click on link it should redirect to another page. Please help

do like :
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="Edit" runat="server" Text="Edit" NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("DataKeyName", "~/View.aspx?Id={0}") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
Edit:
You need to change the column type to a Hyperlink column.
and where to set is your job Sandesh
<Columns>
<asp:hyperlinkfield headertext="NewsHeadline"
datatextfield="NewsHeadline"
datanavigateurlfield="NewsURL"
datanavigateurlformatstring="http://{0}" />
</Columns>

Values GridView in cells

I am trying to get values of string that I keep inside GridView.
When I use regular BoundFields, things work get. I get whatever is needed with:
string my_value = myGrid.Rows [rowIndex].Cells[1].Text;
However, one grid needs to have hyperlinked entries in one of the columns. I did:
<asp:BoundField DataField="domainName"
HeaderText="Domain"
SortExpression="domainName"
HtmlEncode="false"
DataFormatString="<a href=DomainConfiguration.aspx?suffix={0}>{0}</a>"
My ASPX page shows the correctly formed hyperlinks. However, if I retrieve Text for the cell, it returns "<\a href=DomainConfiguration.aspx?suffix=example.com>example.com</a>" [without the two extra slashes], instead of "example.com"
What do I need to do to get GridView working the way I want? [Yes, I would rather use GridView and not another control.]
Thank you.

Instead of asp:BoundField to show hype link it is better use asp:HyperLinkField like:
<Columns>
<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="domainName" HeaderText="domainName" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="DomainConfiguration.aspx?suffix={0}" DataTextField="domainName" />
</Columns>
and to get string value of that column you should try this:
string my_value= ((HyperLink)myGrid.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[1].Controls[0]).Text;

instead your asp:Bounfield use
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="editLink" runat="server" onclick='<%#Eval("EditLink") %>'></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

hyperlink column in datagrid asp.net

I have 3 columns in my DataGrid: a Problem id, Solution and Hyperlink.
I want that hyperlink to redirect to a new window with a parameter ProblemId. And also the size of new window should be small.
Thanks
Kumar

Try this:
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="ProblemID" />
<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="ProblemID" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="SmallWindow.aspx?id={0}"
DataTextField="Click here" NavigateUrl="SmallWindow.aspx" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Solution" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

You can use template field and Row Command Method with the use of
give command id as the ProblemId
and Command Name as HyperLink(or the name u want)
and in rowCommand Event
check e.commandName=="HyperLink"
then do what ever u want in java script
ressponse.write(window.open('http://www.domain.com','','scrollbars=no,menubar=no,height=600,width=800,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,location=no,status=no'));

Reading is what you need.
More Reading is preferred.

GridView - display '0' for all headers when empty data set

I'm using a GridView to display some ifnromation in ASP.NET. I need it to simply display 0 in the gridview fields (there's only ever one row returned) if the dataset is empty, plus of course display the headers. How do I do this?

Yes bind a dummy dataset with one row, with all zeros as fields, to the grid with zeros as the field labels. That would be the best way.

Bind your grid and add the EmptyDataTemplate like so:
<asp:GridView ID="gridview1" runat="server" ShowFooter="true">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="id" HeaderText="ID field" />
</Columns>
<EmptyDataTemplate>put whatever you want in here</EmptyDataTemplate>
</asp:GridView>

Sorting Specific Column in a GridView after a DataBound

I have given an access to stored procedure, which i'm not able to edit.
This Stored Procedure returns a Table with 2 Column, what I did is set a GridView's DataSource using SQLDataSource in this stored procedure. but I want this GridView to Sort an specific column to descending whenever this GridView Loads.
<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" ForeColor="Black"
Width="58%" Height="125px" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
PageSize="5" >
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="DateOccur" HeaderText="Login Date"
SortExpression="DateOccur" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="TotalMinutesPlayed" HeaderText="Total Minutes"
SortExpression="TotalMinutesPlayed" />
</Columns>
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#EFEFEF" />
</asp:GridView>
Thanks!~

You could also use the Gridview.Sort method
See Here.

If you can't sort it by editing the SQL itself, you can sort it programmatically by binding a DataView object to the datasource, specifying a Sort expression for the DataView, and then binding the DataGrid to the DataView object.
For a walkthrough of some example code, see here.

I was using a slightly modified version of the example code I found on MSDN.
Gridview Sort Example on MSDN
By combining the example I found with the SortExpression property I can sort on any column even using proprietary sorts my specification called for.
