Dynamic control creation in datagrid based on data in that column

[mitramay@gmail.com]

I am creating a dynamic datagrid. The controls in some of the template
columns will have to be generated based on the data contained in them
(i.e. the data for that respective DataField column). For example, if I

have a column called Available, the possible values for it are Yes or
No. In case it is "Yes" I need a label in that column and in case it is

"No" I need a hyperlink. Pls help.

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID='lbl' ... />
<asp:LinkButton ID='lbtn' .../>
</ItemTemplate>


dataGrid1.ItemCreated += dataGrid1_ItemCreated;

void dataGrid1_ItemCreated(...)
{
DataGridItem item = e.Item;
Control labelControl = item.FindControl("lbl");
Control lbtnControl = item.FindControl("lbtn");

if(toShowLabel)
{
labelControl.Visible = true;
lbtnControl.Visible = false;
} else
{
labelControl.Visible = false;
lbtnControl.Visible = true;
}
}
