Asp hyperlink alignment - asp.net

Question

I want the hyperlink centered in the cell of GridView, this is the code for the grid column:
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Ticket#" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" SortExpression="ows_ID">
<ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Center" />
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Hyperlink ID="hlID" Target="_parent" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ows_ID")%>' Font-Underline="false"
NavigateUrl='<%#"Default.aspx?TktNo=" & Server.UrlEncode(Trim(Container.DataItem("ows_ID")))%>'/>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
HorizontalAlign="Center" doesn't work, nor does ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center". I have set style as described here and that doesn't work either. FYI, bootstrap is involved also. What am I missing? Some setting in the grid declaration? Please help.

Answer 1

In your CSS file, edit the style for td tag.
td
{
text-align: center;
}
GridView will be converted to table structure when rendered on webpage. So GridView takes styles of table

Answer 2

You can do it with css:
Here is a demo from this post: post
And you have to add a css class to the table cell and wrap your css into the class, otherwise it will align all td's that way!
td {
height: 100%;
}
a {
display: table;
position: relative;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
background-color: yellow;
}
span {
display: table-cell;
text-align:center;
vertical-align: middle;
background-color: red;
}

Answer 3

This can achieve by two methods
1- try to use
< center >
< ItemTemplate >
' Font-Underline="false" NavigateUrl='<%#"Default.aspx?TktNo=" & Server.UrlEncode(Trim(Container.DataItem("ows_ID")))%>'/>
</ItemTemplate>
< /center >
2- Or you simply goto view souce file of your webpage
try to find rendered html of hyperlink ....and then place your
< asp:Hyperlink >
inside a < span class="class1"> < /span >
< style > .class1 { text-align:center; }
< /style >

Answer 4

The only thing that worked was to place a div around the Hyperlink with alignment in the div.
<div style="text-align:center">
<asp:Hyperlink ID="hlID" Target="_parent" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("ows_ID")%>' Font-Underline="false"
NavigateUrl='<%#"Default.aspx?TktNo=" & Server.UrlEncode(Trim(Container.DataItem("ows_ID")))%>'/>
</div>
