Prevent HTML encoding in auto-generated GridView columns

Question

I have a GridView bound to a DataTable that I construct. Most columns in the table contain the raw HTML for a hypelinklink, and I would like that HTML to render as a link i

You can use this code in RowDataBound event if you want to disable HTML encoding in all rows and columns.

protected void GV_Product_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        foreach (TableCell ObjTC in e.Row.Cells)
        {
            string decodedText = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(ObjTC.Text);
            ObjTC.Text = decodedText;
        }
    }
}
