Luis,

It looks like you're trying to change the value of a bound column to display
your text. If you want to display a function computed from a bound column,
you need to do so in an unbound column. In other words, create an unbound
column in your dataset or gridview and compute its "Text" property (using the
code you provided) based on the source column of the data. You can't change
the "Text" property of a bound column to a value that you DON'T want to put
in the column in that data source.

Cheers,
Kelly

Luis,

You might want to have a look at Template-d Column rather than Bound
Column whose value is not customizable.

I would agree with MasterGaurav. Templating is the best way to go here.
Check out TemplateField and ItemTemplate.
