LinkButton in GridView dynamically

Question

I am binding a grid with DataTable, there are two columns which I am using, and the result in GridView1 is is,

HostelName | HostelCode
  Alpha    |     1
  Bravo    |     2
  Charlie  |     3

Now I want this HostelCode as a LinkButton for all the records which are in database, so that I can do further actions while clicking LinkButton. Any help ??

I am using this code, but its not working,

            for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
        {
            LinkButton lb = new LinkButton();
            lb = (LinkButton)GridView1.SelectedRow.FindControl("lbtnSelect");
            lb.Text = dt.Rows[1].ToString();
        }

lbtnSelect is the ID of my linkbutton.

You can use link button in template field of gridview and Eval function to bind value in linkbutton in aspx page.

<asp:GridView runat="server" ID="gvrecords" CssClass="Gridview" DataKeyNames="HostelCode"
            AutoGenerateColumns="false" HeaderStyle-BackColor="#7779AF" HeaderStyle-ForeColor="White"
            OnRowDataBound="gvrecords_RowDataBound">
            <Columns>
                <asp:BoundField DataField="HostelName" HeaderText="Hostel Name" />
                <asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Hostel Code">
                    <ItemTemplate>
                        <asp:LinkButton ID="lnkbtn" runat="server" OnClick="lnkbtn_Click" Text='<%#Eval("HostelCode")'></asp:LinkButton>
                    </ItemTemplate>
                </asp:TemplateField>
            </Columns>
        </asp:GridView>
