DataGridItemEventArgs and Hyperlinkcolumn

[Guest]

I have a dataset (ds) and a Hyperlinkcolumn as the first column.

I want to extract the text of the displayed hyperlink (DataTextField) within
the DataGridItemEventArgs object.

So I try the trusty e.Item.Cells(0).Text. It is blank for a hyperlink column.

I also tried something like e.Item.Cells(0).Controls(0).ToString.

Still no go.

What am I missing?

not such a simple problem. Fritz Onion has a good example of how to
solve this.

GridViewRow row =
(GridViewRow)((Control)e.CommandSource).Parent.Parent;
