Urls and Emails in database

[haio br]

How do I add the Mailto: or http:// to email and url fields in a datagrid, since they are not included in the text of the field in the database. My hperlink columns will not work properly. It was so easy in old ASP!I don't think a HyperLinkColumn is the best approach here. You may consider using a TemplateColumn for that column, using some HTML in the ItemTemplate like:<BR><BR><a href=http://aspmessageboard.com/archive/index.php/"http://<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"URL") %>"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"URL") %></a><BR><BR>or whatever.
