Question

I have a DataGrid with 5 template columns,

However when I try and add some dynamically created controls into the grid, it fails, as there are no rows.

-Can i add a blank row in and use that? and how? -Or any other way?

I’m pretty sure you have to bind to a data source. But it’s easy enough to create your own DataTable and insert a row into it with some dummy info.

//pseudo code:  DataTable dt = new DataTable(); DataColumn dc = new DataColumn('column1'); dt.Columns.Add(dc); DataRow dr = dt.NewRow(); dr['column1'] = 'value1'; dt.Rows.AddNew(dr);  myDataGrid.DataSource = dt; myDataGrid.DataBind();
