Hyperlinked column in grid.On click of the field an event should occur

I have a column in a asp grid which should be hyper-linked. Not only the header but the data bound to the column is also hyper-linked. When I click on any of the field's in the column it should trigger an event.

<asp:HyperLinkField HeaderText="HeaderCloumnName" 
                    DataTextField="Data" DataNavigateUrlFields="link" />

Here "link" is an url but instead I want a method / even that should be triggered. How can I use Onclick event with hyperlink text that is fetched from the database?

You can't, as a HyperLinkField renders out an <a /> tag which the browser just interprets as a link.

Instead you could use a ButtonField and set its ButtonType to a LinkButton, or use a TemplateField and add your own LinkButton manually into the template.
