Dynamically add button column to DataGrid

Hi everyone, I'm trying to dynamically add 3 button columns to a
DataGrid object that I have on an ASP.net webpage, but I don't see any
documentation on how to do it. I've seen plenty of examples on how to
add regular columns, but how do you declare a button column? My code is
posted below, I have a placeholder on a webform, and the datagrid will
be added on the placeholder once it is initalised. Thanks!

System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Labe l lblNoRecords = new
System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Labe l();

clsResults objResults = new clsResults();

objResults.Sour ceWebPage = this;
objResults.SQLS tring = sSQLString;

// Set datagrid reference to returned results
this.dgTable = objResults.Data Grid;

// Add button columns to datagrid
DataColumn editButton = ???
DataColumn updateButton = ???
DataColumn cancelButton = ???
// Add event handlers
this.dgTable.Ed itCommand += new
DataGridCommand EventHandler(dg Table_EditComma nd);
this.dgTable.Ca ncelCommand += new
DataGridCommand EventHandler(dg Table_CancelCom mand);
this.dgTable.Up dateCommand += new
DataGridCommand EventHandler(dg Table_UpdateCom mand);

// Add datagrid to webform
//PlaceHolder1.Co ntrols.Add(objR esults.DataGrid );
this.PlaceHolde r1.Controls.Add (this.dgTable);

if (objResults.Rec ordsRetrieved == 0)
{
lblNoRecords.Te xt = "No records retrieved from database";
lblNoRecords.Cs sClass = "norecordsText" ;
PlaceHolder1.Co ntrols.Add(lblN oRecords);
}

objResults = null;

Greetings, I originally posted this to microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.datagridcontrol two weeks ago, but no one was able to answer. I am unable to dynamically add columns to a DataGrid in a web user control (.ascx) I am creating. This applies to VS.NET 2003 / Framework 1.1.

Hello, I have a need to add a button column to a datagtrid, below is my code and although it does not produce an error, it also does not work, any help? I'm hoping that I can capture the button click in the datagrid itemcommand event but figure having the button show first would be a good thing. I can get a hyperlink column to show with no problem but it causes the page to refresh which is what I'm trying to avoid. Thanks for any help....

Can I add multiple datagrid controls dynamically at runtime? I want to break up my dataset into separate datagrids, so I can insert a "<p style="page-break-before: always"> tag between them. The objective is for the user to be able to print the data with pagebreaks and column headers on each printed page. Thanks

I have posted my question before. It seems that I can not find the solution. The question: I have datasource, say, ds which is bounded to a datagrid, dg. Assume that ds have 5 columns, c0,c1,c2,c3,c4. In some case, say, case 1, I want to display columns c0, c1,c2 in dg and use c3 and c4 in code behind. In case 2, I want to display column c0, c3, and c4, and use c1 and c2 in code behind. The following Possible solution do not work:

A SqlDataReader is populated with the records from a SQL Server 2005 DB table. The records retrieved depends upon 2 conditions (the conditions depend on what a user selects in an ASPX page). If condition1 is true, then the SqlDataReader will be populated with the records existing in table1 & will return 0 to the calling function but if condition2 is true, then the SqlDataReader will be populated with the records from another table named...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
