protected void GridView1_RowDataBound( object sender,GridViewRowEventArgse) { if (e.Row.RowType==DataControlRowType.DataRow) { //casttheShowDeleteButtonlinktolinkbutton LinkButtonlb=(LinkButton)e.Row.Cells[6].Controls[2]; if (lb!= null ) { lb.Text= "YourNewTextHere" ; } } } Things to note from the code above: We used the method Controls [index] because the CommandField columns doesn’t have an ID for us to use FindControl method. In addition we cannot even set an ID to a CommandField column. We also passed the value of 6 in the cells index. This means that the ShowDeleteButton link is located at the 7th column of the GridView ( You need to change the index value based on your gridview column declaration ), by default cells index starts at 0. asp : CommandField ShowDeleteButton ="True" ShowEditButton ="True" /> if you are declaring the buttons like in the above declaration. Then we need passed the value of 2 in the Controls index in order to get reference to the ShowDeleteButton link. That should work. One more thing, if you want to really customize the controls within GridView, then I would really recommend you use TemplateFields instead.

You can use this code. It is working for me. LinkButton btn = new LinkButton(); btn.ClientIDMode = System.Web.UI.ClientIDMode.Static; btn.ID = "lnkbtn" + (RowCount + 1).ToString(); btn.Text = " ";
