Changing text of an autogenerated select column of a gridview in asp.net - How?

I would like to change the text of the autogenerated "select" column in an ASP.NET GridView control. The text needs to be changed to the value of a DataField.

I suspect that there is a very logical way to do this but I am missing it. I am able to 开发者_Python百科add controls and data via the pre-render event but is there an easier better way?

Use the TemplateField and place into it buttons or linkbuttons with appropriate CommandName property: ButtonField.CommandName Property You may set this button text using DataBinder.Eval method.

The easiest way I found to do this is after the calling DataBind() just before the gridview control is displayed.

        foreach (GridViewRow row in gvAgreementList.Rows)
        {
            LinkButton lb = (LinkButton) row.Cells[0].Controls[0];
            lb.Text = "Edit";
        }

after <column> write this:

<asp:CommandField ShowSelectButton="True" SelectText="Save" />

and remove AutoGenerateSelectButton="True" from Gridview attribute.

First remove auto generated select then go to GridView tasks.. top right Button of GridView and then click on commandfields -> Select then edit SelectText.
