Hi,

I am working with Asp.Net.

Question: There are 2 tables in my database. First table is EmpMaster(EmpId,EmpName,Desig) and the second table is EmpAddress(EmpName,Address). So I used One GridView control in my default1.aspx page to bind the EmpMasater table data. Here the EmpName column is the hyperlink. When we click on the row of a EmpName column it takes us to other page default2.aspx there the second table is bound to another gridview control.
The code I have written in the source file is

XML

<columns>
  <asp:BoundField DataField="EmpId" HeaderText="EmpId" SortExpression="EmpId" />
  <asp:BoundField DataField="EmpName" HeaderText="EmpName" SortExpression="EmpName"/> 
  <asp:BoundField DataField="Desg" HeaderText="Desg" SortExpression="Desg" />
  <asp:HyperLinkField DataTextField="EmpName" NavigateUrl="~/Default2.aspx"/>
</columns>

Problem here is when I run the default1.aspx it show 4 columns.

EmpId  EmpName   Desg   EmpName
--------------------------------

But I don't want the EmpName hyperlink as the extra column. I want it in the Second column only.
Can anyone please give the solution for this.

Just figure it out genius!
Take off the <asp:HyperLinkField ... column
Or if you want the hyperlink in the second col, just delete the second <<asp:BoundField & move the hyperlink column up where you want

It's very simple. You have used 3 BoundField Columns and a HyperLinkField Column and so the total columns that are displayed is 4.

But I don't want the EmpName hyperlink as the extra column. I want it in the Second column only.
Delete the second column and move the HyperLinkField Column to the second position and you are done.

XML

<columns>
  <asp:BoundField DataField="EmpId" HeaderText="EmpId" SortExpression="EmpId" />
  <asp:HyperLinkField DataTextField="EmpName" NavigateUrl="~/Default2.aspx"/>
  <asp:BoundField DataField="Desg" HeaderText="Desg" SortExpression="Desg" />
</columns>

Hope this helps!
