i'm using VB \ ASP.NET.
i'm trying to display some values in Gridview. but i don't know how many columns i need to display. at run time only i will come to know how many columns i need to display. it depends up on the values from Database. so i'm creating columns dynamically and adding to gridview. till that it works fine. but i want some columns value to be hyperlink. so i need to create some columns hyperlink dynamically.
Database table looks like this
depends upon the "Distinct Date", the number of columns in gridview is created dynamically.
Gridview looks like this
for all the date columns i want to create dynamic hyperlink.
Codes
How can i create dynamic hyperlinks for the date columns.....
if you have any idea, how to do this, please help me. if you can some example, that's will be great.
Thanks in advance.

Database table looks like this
Index-------Name--------------Date-----------------Description
1------------John----------------12/1/2010---------- Work
2------------Peter---------------12/2/2010---------- Out
3------------John----------------12/3/2010---------- Off
depends upon the "Distinct Date", the number of columns in gridview is created dynamically.
Gridview looks like this
Index-----Name----------12/1/2010-------12/2/2010----------12/3/2010
1----------John-----------Work--------------ADD NEW----------Off
2----------Peter----------ADD NEW---------Out-----------------ADD NEW
for all the date columns i want to create dynamic hyperlink.
for example : if i need to make any chnage for 12/1/2010 john, i can click hyperlink "Work" and update the information. and if i need to add some description for 12/2/2010 John, i can click hyperlink "Add New" and add description for that date.
