Linking to E-mail through datagrid
Ok guys, here is what the problem is.
I have a column "reference number", now I want to make a column for "email" and depending what value is in the ref. No cell, the email will change accordingly, here is an example.
If the reference number is "THVP" then I want the email cell on the same row to be [email="zorba@hotmail.com"]zorba@hotmail.com[/email] and if the reference number is "SHVP" then I want the email cell on the same row to be [email="slade@hotmail.com"]slade@hotmail.com[/email] can anybody help me out here? Please?
Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

hey don't worry about it, I did it myself (I got lazy too), What I did was instead of worrying about that, I worried about the actual e-mail link in the datagrid even working. So I created another column in my database table called "Email" and manually entered the e-mails in according to ref. No. then for the e-mail column in the datagrid I used this code.
Inquire/Apply

my bad, I used this code
<asp:TemplateColumn SortExpression="Email" HeaderText="E-mail">
<HeaderStyle Width="12%"></HeaderStyle>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink id=lnkEmail runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# "<A href="mailto:"&">mailto:"& DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Email") %>'>Inquire/Apply</asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
