I have a datagrid bound to a datareader. One of the columns contains file
name. I would like a column which acts as a link and opens a link to the
file (normally a pdf). How would I do this?
 
You need to make a template column with a hyperlink control in item template
and databind the hyperlink to the name column.

Or, even simpler, you could add a hyperlinkcolumn, and
set the DataTextField and DataNavigateUrlField properties
to the file name column.
 
How do I set them?

The quickstart tutorials at www.asp.net will tell you exactly how to do
this. Look under "Web Controls Syntax Reference", section DataGrid.

Soory I'll be more specific. How do I do this in handwritten asp.net code
rather than in Visual Studio.

<asp:HyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlField="myUrlField" DataTextField="Name"
HeaderText="URL"></asp:HyperLinkColumn>
