Adding Link Column to ASP.NET GridView

I want to output a list of news headlines that are clickable. So far I can get it to print out a list of headlines because I dragged and dropped the NewsHeadline table in designer view in VS 2010. How do you think I should the make the list elements clickable? I looked for a URL attribute but I did not see it. Do I need to wrap in a < a href ?

How to bind the URL of a GridView HyperLinkField when the bound value contains a colon?

I’m trying to bind a GridView HyperLinkField such that the bound column is used as a parameter value in the URL. Pretty standard stuff – nothing fancy, but the binding fails when the bound column contains a colon, i.e. :. I’m my particular case, this value is a string representing a duration of time, e.g. “14:35”, or “1:07:19”.
