creating a datagrid...

[Bad_Kid]

How can I dynamicly create a datagrid?
(first I read a datatable from a database, see how many atributes does it
have (n) and then build a datagrid with n columns...)???

(c#, asp.net)

Dynamically create a datagrid in ASP.net using C#

Create a dynamic ASP.Net datagrid control and columns using c# code. This
example demonstrates how to generate a datagrid control and datagrid columns
on the fly in the code behind file based on the results of a SQL Query

That's the beauty of ASP.NET: It is a server side object model:

DataGrid dg = new DataGrid();
BoundColumn col = new BoundColumn();
col.DataField = "SomeColumn ";
col.HeaderText = "Some Header";
dg.Columns.Add( col)

dg.DataSource = ds;
dg.DataBind();

A co-worker was doing something similar, where the grid shows different
results in different situations. looping through the dataview columns and
adding datagrid columns. It turned out to be an easier solution to let the
datagrid do it with autogeneratecol umns = true. You might have to hide
certain fields, but that will probably be easier than hard-coding the columns
by hand.
