I have a GridView that is populated with information froma sql table. The first column of the table has a number (0,1,2,etc.) that corresponds to a folder on the network that contains multiple documents. After the table is generated with all the information from the sql table, I want to add a column that contains link to each document in the folder on the network. For example, the first row of the gridview has number "3" in the first cell, so i want the last cell of the row to have two hyperlinks to two separate word documents that reside on the network. This is the code I have so far but when I run the program the cells are empty. The hyperlinks do not show up. Any help is greatly appreciated
Protected Sub ResultsGridView_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles ResultsGridView.RowDataBound
Dim contractNumber As String = e.Row.Cells(0).Text.ToString
Dim pathToFiles As String = "\\eng\common\Contract Management\" & contractNumber
If (System.IO.Directory.Exists(pathToFiles)) Then
Dim dir As DirectoryInfo = New DirectoryInfo(pathToFiles)
Dim files As FileInfo() = dir.GetFiles()
For Each file In files 'copy to Files column
Dim link As New HyperLink
link.Text = file.Name
link.NavigateUrl = file.FullName
e.Row.Cells(7).Controls.Add(link)
Next
End If
End Sub
