How to set a condition in the grid snap field?

Question

here is my code -

<asp:BoundField DataField="DayOfTheWeek" HeaderText="Day" ItemStyle-CssClass="Itemstyle"/>

from my collection object I get DayOfTheWeek as 1,2 ... 7. 1 on Monday, 2 on Tuesday. Where should I place the condition so that in grid mode it displays the name of the day, and not the corresponding code.

You can use Enum.Parse in the DayOfWeek enumeration to return the text of the day in the TemplateField:

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Day" ItemStyle-CssClass="Itemstyle">
    <ItemTemplate>
        <%# Enum.Parse(typeof(DayOfWeek), DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "DayOfTheWeek").ToString()) %>
    </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
