Question

I have a grid that I need to add columns to dynamically (programatically).

I have been browsing Telerik forums as well as Google and im not able to find anything. Decompiling GridTemplateColumn shows that there should be ItemTemplate property however my VS throws an error.

Dim col As GridColumn = New GridButtonColumn()
col.UniqueName = stockLocation("LocationID").ToString()
col.HeaderText = stockLocation("Name").ToString()
col.ItemTemplate = ERROR HERE
rgGridCombinations.Columns.Add(col)  

I’m trying to create a column that will look like following ASPX code.

<radg:GridTemplateColumn HeaderText="Stock" UniqueName="Stock" Visible="true" HeaderStyle-Width="10%">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="tbStock" runat="server" Width="100%" />
</ItemTemplate>
</radg:GridTemplateColumn>

How would I create this?

Answer 1

1) GridColumn does not have ItemTemplate property

2) You were assigning GridButtonColumn. Use GridTemplateColumn instead

Try this

Dim col = As New GridTemplateColumn()
col.UniqueName = "Stock"
col.HeaderText = "Stock"
col.ItemTemplate = <something here>  'should be an ITemplate

rgGridCombinations.Columns.Add(col)
