How to dynamically add control to datagrid item template

I am trying to dynamically add a control within an itemtemplate container in 
a gridview and need some assistance.  

For example, my goal is to evaluate a column's value in a datagrid row and 
depending on it's value dynamically add a few hyperlink controls to within 
the template field.  

I'm familiar with doing this in .NET 1.1 using the itemondatabound event and 
interrogating the datagrid and am looking for a similiar way to do this with 
the dataview, ideally all in a similiar event.

Any help is appreciated!

                    <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Converted FileName" 
SortExpression="ConvertedFileName">
                        <ItemTemplate>
                            <asp:Label ID="lblConvertedFileName" 
runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ConvertedFileName") %>'></asp:Label>
                            <br />
                            <asp:HyperLink ID="hlDownloadCFN" runat="server" 
NavigateUrl="~/Admin/Admin_Bundles.aspx" Text="Download"></asp:HyperLink>
                            <br />
                            <asp:HyperLink ID="hlViewCFN" runat="server" 
NavigateUrl="~/Admin/Admin_Bundles.aspx" Text="View"></asp:HyperLink>
                            <br />
                            <asp:HyperLink ID="hlUploadCFN" runat="server" 
NavigateUrl="~/Admin/Admin_Bundles.aspx" Text="Upload"></asp:HyperLink>
                            <br />
                            <asp:HyperLink ID="hlDeleteCFN" runat="server" 
NavigateUrl="~/Admin/Admin_Bundles.aspx" Text="Delete"></asp:HyperLink>
                        </ItemTemplate>
                    </asp:TemplateField>

RE: How to dynamically add control to datagrid item template

Hi,
Now in gridview instead of ItemDataBound there is RowDataBound event.You can 
something like this:
<asp:GridView ID="clients_gridview" runat="server" 
AutoGenerateColumns="False" 
                DataSourceID="LinqDataSource1" AllowSorting="True" 
                onrowdatabound="GridView1_RowDataBound">
And then in GridView1_RowDataBound write something like this:
HyperLink hl = (HyperLink)e.Row.FindControl("nameofhyperlink");
hl.NavigateUrl =  "yoururl";
Or try this:
((HyperLink)e.Row.Cells[1].Controls[0]).NavigateUrl = "yoururl";
RowDataBound event fires when data is explicitly bound to data web control.
Also you would find site http://gridviewguy.com/ pretty useful.

Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards.
