How to set alias to hyperlink field in gridview?

Question

My gridview code :

<columns>
                <asp:boundfield runat="server" DataField="title" HeaderText="Title"></asp:boundfield>
                <asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="link"  ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="center"  DataTextField="link" HeaderText="Download File" />

            </columns>

My Code-behind :

dt.Columns.Add("title");
        dt.Columns.Add("link");
        while (item.Read())
        {
            DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
            dr["title"] = item["title"];
            dr["link"] = "/download.cshtml?id="+ item["link"];

            dt.Rows.Add(dr);
        }
        grdData.DataSource = dt;
        grdData.DataBind();

My Grid view shows up Like :

i want it to show "Download" instead of full link, how can i do that ?

You can build HTML inside the datarow. For example:

dr["link"] = "<a href='"+ "/download.cshtml?id=" + item["link"] + "'>Download</a>";
