Question

I have set a dynamic gridview, which i want to use it in another form so i created it as

 public GridView gv = new GridView()

i have set in Page_Load properties of gv to

 gv.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
 gv.Visible = true;

then i have another grid MyGridView which is static and have data in it. So when i try to copy all static gridview data to dynamic gridview data that is

gv.DataSource = MyGridView.DataSource;
gv.DataBind();

I am not able to view the Grid gv, why is it so? someone told me to add

 'Controls.Add(gv) in Page_Load

when i added its showing compile time error, that gv should be in a form with runat=server.
How can i put a dynamic gridview into a form with runat=server?

So my requirement is gv should be visible, how can i achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

you need to use some sort of holders for this try pannel

on aspx page create

<asp:Panel id="panel1" runat="server"></asp:Panel>

on your backednd

do

panel1.Controls.Add(gv)
