Hi 

  I have below code and i want that values should appear as link in Gridview.  Currently it is appearing as Label.

using (SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader())
                    {
                        if (rdr.HasRows)
                        {
                            DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                            dt.Columns.Add("FileName", typeof(System.String));
                            while (rdr.Read())
                            {
                                dt.Rows.Add(rdr["Url1"].ToString());
                                dt.Rows.Add(rdr["Url2"].ToString());

                            }
                            this.gvw.DataSource = dt;
                            this.gvw.DataBind();
                        }
                    }

<asp:GridView ID="gvw"  runat="server" 
                                CssClass="table table-bordered table-striped" AutoGenerateColumns="false"  
                                
                                EmptyDataText="No Records Found!" EmptyDataRowStyle-ForeColor="Red" EmptyDataRowStyle-CssClass ="gvEmpty" >
                                <HeaderStyle ForeColor="White" Font-Bold="True" BackColor="#428bca"></HeaderStyle>
                                <Columns>
                                    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FileName">
                                        <ItemTemplate>
                                            <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblFileName" Text='<%#Eval("FileName") %>'></asp:Label>
                                        </ItemTemplate>
                                    </asp:TemplateField>
                                </Columns>
                                </asp:GridView>

Change the Label inside ItemTemplate to anchor like:

<Columns>
  <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="FileName">
    <ItemTemplate>
      <a href='<%#Eval("Link") %>'><%#Eval("FileName") %></a>
    </ItemTemplate>
  </asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>

For Gridview you can use HyperLinkField

 <asp:HyperLinkField NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("Filename") %> Text="FileLink" />
