I am using gridview to show the data and in the gridview itself I have some action buttons like Edit Delete and Preview for picture view. but I don't want the text "Preview" on my preview button, i want (fontawesome icon) instead the text(preview). My code is here....

<asp:GridView ID="GVProduct" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CssClass="table table-bordered table-sm table-hover table-striped" EmptyDataText="No rows  for the selection criteria." EnableTheming="False" PageSize="5" OnRowCommand="grdForRows_RowCommand" OnPageIndexChanging="grdForRows_PageIndexChanging">

<Columns>

    <asp:BoundField DataField="ProId" HeaderText="Prod.Id">

        <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />

        <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Right" />

    </asp:BoundField>

    <asp:BoundField DataField="ProName" HeaderText="Product Name">

        <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />

        <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />

    </asp:BoundField>

    <asp:BoundField DataField="ProCategory" HeaderText="Category">

        <HeaderStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />

        <ItemStyle HorizontalAlign="Left" />

    </asp:BoundField>

    <asp:ButtonField Text="Preview" ButtonType="Button" HeaderText="Photo" CommandName="btnPreview">

        <ControlStyle CssClass="btn btn-success btn-sm" />

    </asp:ButtonField>

    <asp:ButtonField Text="Edit" ButtonType="Button" CommandName="btnEdit">

        <ControlStyle CssClass="btn btn-primary btn-sm" />

    </asp:ButtonField>

    <asp:ButtonField ButtonType="Button" CommandName="btnDelete" Text="Delete">

        <ControlStyle CssClass="btn btn-danger btn-sm" />

    </asp:ButtonField>

</Columns>

the code for the icon which i want to add on button is

<i class="fas fa-eye"></i>

You cannot add Inner Html to that control, you will have to rethink your design or deal with not having an icon in the button

If you want to use those fonts in a GridView button you need to use TemplateField instead of ButtonFIeld. Then you have full control over the html.

I found the way to add Font Awesome icons to GridView buttons. Use a ButtonType="Link":

<asp:GridView ID= ... >

   <Columns>

      ...

      <asp:ButtonField CommandName="myComand" ext="<i class='fa fa-info'></i>" 

      ButtonType="Link" ControlStyle-CssClass="btn btn-primary" />

      ...

   </Columns>

</asp:GridView>
