You may use HyperLinkField

     <asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="EmployeeID" 
DataNavigateUrlFormatString="/default.aspx?id={0}"
                            DataTextField="EmployeeID" HeaderText="EmployeeID" />

Delete the BoundField for EmployeeID and replace TemplateField. Try this: 

<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="EmployeeID" InsertVisible="False" 
                ShowHeader="False" SortExpression="EmployeeID">
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" CausesValidation="false" 
                        CommandName="" PostBackUrl='<%# "http://localhost/defualt.aspx?id=" & Eval("EmployeeID") %>' Text='<%# Eval("EmployeeID") %>'></asp:LinkButton>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
