Hi

I have a <asp:Boundfield> which returns the value of a datasource field. Can I have the text display something else depending on
the value of the field ? Let's say


Field Contents Display
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e

Thanks
Peter

Thanks Mark.. I got it both in my Gridview and DetailsView. But one last question, in a GridView, I need to use Cells[0], Cells[1],
Cells[3], etc.... to refer to the cell contents in displayed order. .. What if I add or remove a boundfield later on, I need to
chagne the reference number all over the place.. Can I refer to the Field name directly somehow ?

Regards,
Peter

Gotcha...that seems to be a pretty good solution.
