calculated column in datagrid question

[Kurt Schroeder]

can you populate a colmun in a data grid with a calculated value and can this
be done on databind?

I have a datagrid that is populated with a shopping cart. This data comes
from the database. I have a quantity and price that i'd like to calculate in
a function and show as a line total. What's the best way to do this.
thanks

Use a template column and yes, you can do pretty much what you want with it.

If i bind the data directly to the datagrid like this: dgCart.DataSource =
cmdCart.ExecuteReader() how do i reference the data in the itemDataBound sub
if it is not included on in the datagrid as a column? (as a
<asp:boundcolumn...)
