In the past I've made a code-behind method that evaluates and returns a boolean.

protected bool IsTransTypeDessert(string transType)
{
    return transType.ToLower() == "dessert";
}

Then in the markup, call that method like so:

<asp:LinkButton ID="lbWrite" runat="server" CausesValidation="False" CommandName="WriteClicked" OnClick="Write_Click"
Visible='<%# IsTransTypeDessert(Eval("TRANSTYPE") != null ? Eval("TRANSTYPE").ToString() : "") %>'>Write</asp:LinkButton>

One thing I can't remember is if IsTransTypeDessert needs to return the string representation of "true" or "false" or if the bool will work. Testing will determine it.

On your gvData _OnRowDataBound , check for the condition and make the appropriate buttons Visible property to false for each row.

            protected void gvData_OnRowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
            {
                LinkButton lbClose = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[5].FindControl("lbClose");
                LinkButton lbEdit = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[5].FindControl("lbEdit");
                LinkButton lbDelete = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[5].FindControl("lbDelete");
                LinkButton lbWrite = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[5].FindControl("lbWrite");
                LinkButton lbRT = (LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[5].FindControl("lbRT");

                if(e.Row.Cells[1].Text=="Dessert")
                {
                    lbClose.Visible = false;
                    lbEdit.Visible = false;
                    lbDelete.Visible = false;
                }
                else
                {
                    lbWrite.Visible = false;
                    lbRT.Visible = false;
                }
            }
