OK. So I realise I had to create my field differently and specify a string
array for for *DataNavigateUrlFields* property.
And for dynamic URL I created a new column for my DataTable called
*URL*that replicated the
*pageid* column and applied my string manipulation there. Added the row
values. Then simply defined my grid field accordingly.
HyperLinkField url = new HyperLinkField();
url.DataTextField = "URL";
url.DataNavigateUrlFields = new String[] {"pageid"};
Don't know if there was a better way. Maybe using the RowDataBound event
handler?
Same deal with adding the footer row for totals. Just grabbed it all from
the DataTable and added a literal control. This class is pretty painful, I
gotta say,
