The string that specifies the display format for the text caption of the hyperlinks in the column. The default value is String::Empty.

Use the DataTextFormatString property to provide a custom display format for the text caption of the hyperlinks in the HyperLinkColumn. The specified format is applied to the text caption only when the text caption is data bound to a field in a data source. Specify the field to bind to the text caption of the hyperlinks in the column by setting the DataTextField property.

For information on the syntax of formatting strings, see String::Format.
