if ((e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Normal | e.Row.RowState == DataControlRowState.Alternate) & e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow) {
	LinkButton SelectButton = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells(0).Controls(0);
	DataRowView rowView = (DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;
	string JobTitle = Convert.ToString(rowView["JobTitle"]);
	SelectButton.Text = JobTitle;
}

Hi ,

Try this ,

If you are autogenerating columns, then you will have to change the name of the value that is being databound. This is simple if you have a sql datasource, just alias your columns in your select statement. If you have explicit columns being created, then use the headerText attribute to change it to whatever you want.

<asp:GridView ID="gvMain" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
        <Columns>
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Books_ID" HeaderText="Book Id" />
            <asp:BoundField DataField="Text_No" HeaderText="Text No" />
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>

hi,

Instead of the AutoGenerateSelectButton, use the CommandField and set its SelectText to specify a different text
