Answer 1

you can do it in grid rowdatabound event.. like...

protected void grd_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
    {
        System.Data.DataRowView dr = (System.Data.DataRowView)e.Row.DataItem;
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(dr["column"].ToString()))
        {
            //add your control or set visibility of ur control
        }
    }
}
