The Syncfusion ASP.NET MVC Grid supports extensive column customization options. A common requirement is to be able to format the columns as hyperlinks. The Grid team has created a sample to show formatting columns as hyperlinks using the Format option and the Template option.

## Download sample: [Mvc_SFGridHyperlink.zip](https://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/Support/DirectTrac/93027/Mvc_SFGridHyperlink-1047203136.zip)

## Format option

```
@(new HtmlString(Html.Syncfusion().Grid("FlatGrid", "GridModel",
        column =>{
            column.Add(c => c.CategoryName).HeaderText("Category Name").Format("{CategoryName}");
           column.Add(c => c.Description).HeaderText("Description");
            column.Add(c => c.CategoryID).HeaderText("Category ID");
            column.Add(c => c.OtherInfo).HeaderText("Other Info");
        }).ToString()))   
```

## Template option

```
@(new HtmlString(Html.Syncfusion().Grid("FlatGrid", "GridModel",
        column =>{
            column.Add(c => c.CategoryName).HeaderText("Category Name").TemplateColumn(true).TemplateName("LinkTemplate"); ;
            column.Add(c => c.Description).HeaderText("Description");
            column.Add(c => c.CategoryID).HeaderText("Category ID");
            column.Add(c => c.OtherInfo).HeaderText("Other Info");
        }).ToString())) 
```
