Creating GridView from array. Adding Button Field column?

[JB]

I'm dynamically creating a Gridview object and filling it with
contents from an ArrayList as follows:

GridView2.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
GridView2.DataSource = ArrayListObject;
GridView2.DataBind();

This works nicely, but i need to add a button field row onto it, as
well as possibly a textbox and image field later.

If I add it into the page source like this:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:ButtonField ButtonType = "Button" Text="Remove"
CommandName="remove" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

It works, but it displays the button as the first column, and i need
it as the last column.

Seems like a simple thing to do but its causing me grief.
Can't seem to find a way to add a specific column in codebehind..

Any ideas?

Hi I was also in the same situation. But I find the solution little bit. I
am able to add Button. But I need to pass the Value of the third column to
Next page.
