How to associate a complex dictionary with Gridview in asp.net?

Question

I used early binding with gridview to show Urls Text and its HRef as a key value, and it works like a charm. But since I want to replace the dictionary with the following: dictionary<string, string>

dictionary<string, LinkInfo>

binding goes wrong! Should I handle some events like onItemDataBound or something else? and LinkInfo structure :

public struct LinkInfo{
    public string href;
    public bool Enabled;
}

Answer 1

Yes, you need to sign the OnItemDataBound event. Use the template field, insert a literal with an identifier of type "href"

In the OnItemDataBound event use

Literal _href = e.Row.FindControl("href") as Literal;  
if(_href != null)
{
  _href = ((LinkInfo)e.Row.DataItem).href;
}
