Remarks

When the ButtonType property of a ButtonField object is set to the Button or Link value, use the DataTextField property to specify the name of the field to bind to the ButtonField object. The values of the field are then displayed as the text for the buttons in the ButtonField object. Optionally, you can format the displayed text by setting the DataTextFormatString property.

Instead of using the DataTextField property to bind a ButtonField object to a field from a data source, you can use the Text property to display static text for the text of the buttons in the ButtonField object. When the Text property is used, each button shares the same caption.

Note

If the DataTextField and Text properties are both set, the DataTextField property takes precedence.

The value of this property is stored in view state.
