Remarks

Use the DataNavigateUrlField property to specify the field from a data source to bind to the URL of the hyperlinks in the HyperLinkColumn. When the URL is data bound to a field, the URL of each hyperlink in the column is set with a corresponding value in the specified field. This allows you to set a different URL for each hyperlink in the column. To specify the same URL for each row in the column, set the NavigateUrl property instead of this property.

Note

The DataNavigateUrlField and NavigateUrl properties cannot both be set at the same time. If both properties are set, the DataNavigateUrlField property takes precedence.

When you are using data binding, you can specify a custom display format for the URL of the hyperlinks by setting the DataNavigateUrlFormatString property.
