# LinkColumn

The **DataGridViewLinkColumn** class is a specialized type of the **DataGridViewColumn** class used to logically host cells that respond to user clicks. The **DataGridViewLinkColumn** class is similar to the **DataGridViewButtonColumn** class but provides a different user experience that may be more appropriate in certain situations, such as displaying a URL stored in a database table.

To display the same link text for every cell, set the **UseColumnTextForLinkValue** property to `true` and set the **Text** property to the desired link text.

A **DataGridViewLinkColumn** has an associated **DataGridViewLinkCell** in every **DataGridViewRow** that intersects it.

The default sort mode for this column type is `NotSortable`.

To respond to user link clicks, handle the **DataGridView\.CellMouseClick** event. You can also use the **DataGridView\.CellClick** event to respond to clicks anywhere in the cell.
