  Hi,

  I've coded the following, which correctly displays the "name" field from my datasource in the GridView column but does not show it as a hyperlink. I want to be able to click on the hyperlink and be redirected to the site identified in the "url" field. Has anyone any idea why this doesn't work?

                      Dim hyper As New HyperLinkField
                      hyper.DataTextField = "name"
                      hyper.Target = "_blank"
                      Dim str(0) As String
                      str(0) = "url"
                      hyper.DataNavigateUrlFields = str
                      hyper.DataNavigateUrlFormatString = "{0}"
                      hyper.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Center
                      hyper.HeaderText = "link"
                      Dim Col As DataControlField = hyper
                      GridView1.Columns.Add(Col)
  

  Thanks in advance for any ideas you might have.
