Question

So far I have done this, I am not sure whether this is right or wrong

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page 
{
    Label l = new Label();
    GridView gv = new GridView();
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
        {
            GridViewRow gvr = new GridViewRow(i, i, DataControlRowType.DataRow, DataControlRowState.Normal);
            gvr.Controls.Add(l);
            gv. (what to do here)
        }

        this.Controls.Add(gv);

    }
}

please help

Answer 1

gv.Rows.Add(gvr);

If you’re starting with an empty GridView, an easier way to dynamically create x rows is to create a dummy list and then set it to the data source:

var list = new List<string>(10); // replace 10 with number of empty rows you want
// for loop to add X items to the list
gv.DataSource = list;
gv.DataBind();

If you are doing this, I’d recommend doing it with a Repeater. It’s a lot easier to manage.
