Modify Asp gridview boundfield

Question

I want to add some text to a boundfield build in the code behind without writing any code in the code behind.

example I receive "overflow" in a specific field, and i'd like to display "stack overflow" and if i receive "house" i want to display "stack house"

is there a property to put text behind or after whatever comes in the boundfield ?

If your placement is conditional, it's likely you're going to end up putting something in the code behind anyway unless you keep your conditions extremely simple. — Joel Etherton, Jan 18 '10 at 13:11

Use a custom column.

  <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="MyColumn">
    <ItemTemplate> 
         stack <asp:Literal runat="server" Text="<%#Eval("myField")%>" />
    </ItemTemplate>
  </asp:TemplateField>

what would exactly be this myfield ? – Marcelo Jan 18 '10 at 13:10
Replace your `` with the above code. `myField` is the name of the column in your datatable. – Jan Jongboom Jan 18 '10 at 13:10

Why not just use item template?

// instead of 
<asP:BoundField DataField="FieldName" />

// use
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
    prefix <%# Eval("FieldName") %> suffix
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>

could i databind it ? this way wouldn't i need two columns ? – Marcelo Jan 18 '10 at 13:09
No, this should work as you suggested, the output would end up being stack overflow if overflow was the FieldsName – Wil Jan 18 '10 at 15:26
