Is there any way to affect gridview row appearance based on contents?

[COHENMARVIN@lycos.com]

I have a gridview with a button that should only appear if the
database routine it is based on returns a value of 'True' for the
database field "ReservationsEx ist". So I tried putting in the
following:

<asp:ButtonFiel d ButtonType="But ton"
CommandName="Re servations"
HeaderText="Vie w Reserves"
Text="View Reserves" Visible='<%#
Eval("Reservati onsExist") %>' />

This does not work. I get an error message saying that ButtonFields
don't have a 'DataBinding' event, and therefore I can't do this.
Is there some way of doing this? In general it would enhance a
gridview if you could do things like this.

You can override the GridView's DataBound event and modify things there.
