any advice on how accomplish helpful, thanks!

there 2 ways this. can either change gridboundcolumn gridhyperlinkcolumn, or can put html in gridboundcolumn

assuming bulk of function working properly, change this:

protected void contacts_onitemdatabound(object sender, griditemeventargs e)     {         var dataitem = e.item griddataitem;          if (dataitem != null && dataitem["contact"].text == "test@tester.com")          {             dataitem["contact"].text = string.format("<a href=\"mailto:{0}\">{1}</a>", emailaddress, emailaddress);         }     }
