Changing Hyperlink text in VB code for Gridview - vb.net

Question

In the VB code below, I'm trying to set the Hyperlink hypNote's text as "Add Note" when text is null. However it is not working. As a test, I've even set the Hyperlink text as "Test" and tried:
If hypNote.text = "Test" Then
hypNote.text = "Add Note"
End If
But still it doesn't work. Here's my code..
<asp:Panel ID="pnlOrders" runat="server">
<asp:Image ID="LiveOrders" alt="Live Gif" runat="server" class="extrasButton" ImageUrl="~/files/images/liveOrders.gif" />
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="DSOrders" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DBConnectionString %>" SelectCommand="SELECT TOP (100) PERCENT tblOrders.OrderID, tblOrders.stallmessage, tblOrders.price, tblAccounts.city, tblAccounts.postcode, tblOrders.phoneNo, tblOrders.tblNo, tblOrders.info, tblOrders.orderDate, tblOrders.orderStatus, tblOrders.type, tblOrders.timeFor, tblOrders.paid, tblOrders.tblNo
FROM tblOrders INNER JOIN tblAccounts ON tblOrders.accountID = tblAccounts.AccountID
WHERE tblOrders.orderStatus='Completed'
ORDER BY tblOrders.timeFor ASC">
</asp:SqlDataSource>
<asp:GridView ID="gdvOrders" width="100%" runat="server" style="font-size:1.5em" ShowHeaderWhenEmpty="True" EmptyDataText="No orders" AllowPaging="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CssClass="mGrid" DataKeyNames="orderID" DataSourceID="DSOrders" PageSize="20" AllowSorting="True">
<AlternatingRowStyle CssClass="alt" />
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Order">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("stallMessage") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="price" HeaderText="Price" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="phoneNo" HeaderText="Phone No" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Address/Table No.">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label2" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("tblNo") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField ItemStyle-ForeColor="Red" HeaderText="Note">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:HyperLink ID="hypNote" style="Font-Size:20px; color:Red;" runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# "~/editNote.aspx?note=" & Eval("info").ToString & "&orderID=" & Eval("orderID").ToString %>' ><%# Eval("info") %></asp:HyperLink>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="type" HeaderText="Type" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="orderDate" DataFormatString="{0: H:mm:ss}" HeaderText="Order Time" SortExpression="orderDate" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="timeFor" DataFormatString="{0: H:mm:ss}" HeaderText="Time For" SortExpression="timeFor" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="paid" HeaderText="Paid" />
<asp:TemplateField ShowHeader="True">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:ImageButton visible="true" ID="lnkSent" runat="server" CausesValidation="False"
onclientclick="return confirm('Mark As Sent?');"
ImageUrl="~/files/images/icons/sendIcon.png" onclick="lnkSent_Click"></asp:ImageButton>
<asp:HiddenField ID="hidnOrderID" runat="server" Value='<%# Eval("orderID") %>' />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
</asp:Panel>
Protected Sub gdvOrders_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gdvOrders.RowDataBound
For Each r As GridViewRow in gdvOrders.Rows
If r.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
Dim hypNote As Hyperlink
hypNote = r.Cells(4).FindControl("hypNote")
If hypNote.text = "" Then
hypNote.text = "Add Note"
End If
End If
Next r
End Sub
Additionally, I wish to change the text color of the Hyperlink when "Add Note" is displayed.

I figured out my mistake. I changed this line to:
<asp:HyperLink ID="hypNote" style="Font-Size:20px; color:Red;" text='<%# Eval("info") %>' runat="server" NavigateUrl='<%# "~/editNote.aspx?note=" & Eval("info").ToString & "&orderID=" & Eval("orderID").ToString %>' ></asp:HyperLink>
I didn't have text= in there.
All worked fine then.
