title: Combining a Telerik hyperlinkcolumn and a gridboundcolumn into 1 field
body: <p>I was able to get part of my answer from <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3450181">another question</a> but cannot find a more specific bit of information that I need to finish.</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to combine 2 fields into 1 like the above question but one of them is a GridHyperLinkColumn.  I am using a GridItemDataBound event in the code behind to put 2 fields together like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected void GridItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e) {
    if (e.Item is GridDataItem) {
      GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
      item["A"].Text = item["A"].Text + " /&lt;br/&gt;" + item["B"].Text;
      item["C"].Text = item["C"].Text + " /&lt;br/&gt;" + item["D"].Text;
     }
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My UI shorten down for simplicity looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;Columns&gt;    
      &lt;telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="A" DataField="A" /&gt;
      &lt;telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="B" DataField="B" Visible="false" /&gt;
      &lt;telerik:GridHyperLinkColumn DataNavigateUrlFields="ID"        DataNavigateUrlFormatString="~.aspx?ID={0}" DataTextField="C" Text="{0}" UniqueName="C" /&gt;     
      &lt;telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="D" DataField="D" Visible="false" /&gt;
    &lt;/Columns&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works well for the first 2 columns that I combine into 1 (A &amp; B).  </p>
  
  <p>However suppose item["C"] is a GridHyperLinkColumn.  When I try the same code, it only shows <code>/ &lt;D value&gt;</code>.  Nothing shows up in front of the slash where "C" should be showing.  </p>
  
  <p>Is there a different property (instead of .Text) I should use or do I need to do it a different way?</p>
