How to Insert anchor to every row in a gridview?

[asoundmind]

Hi There, Nice to meet you all! Hopefully I can be active in this forum. I really hope you guys can help me out with my problem. I am planning to put an anchor on every row of my gridview which is bound to a datasource. The reason being is my Gridview is too long and user wants if they click on a link from other page, they can be redirected directly to the exact part of a specific row of that gridview. And I can't do paging as well 'coz they want all in one page so it can be exported and be seen easily in excel. Please help, any helps are very much appreciated. Thanks

Use the RowDataBound event. Example:

Protected Sub GridView1_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs)
  If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
    e.Row.Cells(1).Text = String.Format("<a name=""{0}"" />{1}", e.Row.RowIndex + 1, e.Row.Cells(1).Text)
  End If
End Sub
