Can you create & see columns in a datagrid before a dataset is bound to it?

Hi all,

I have a datagrid on a form which is not populated until the user enters
selection criteria and clicks a button. Rather than have a blank datagrid
when the form is displayed, I would like to have the columns headings that
are to be displayed actually there. Is this possible?

I know how to create a DataGridStyle programatically and add columns, so I
added this chunk of code to the "page_load" event and nothing happened. Am
I on the right track?

Any help appreciated.
regards,

Mac

Mac,

I did not try this, however you can try it with setting the rowfilter from
your defaultview (or dataview) in an impossible format in advance. Than
there should be now rows showed only a header. (Don't forget than to set as
well the allow properties to false)

Just an idea

I have a datagrid with a template column that has a hyperlink and a label. The hyperlink text is bound to Title from my dataset and the label text is bound to Author in the dataset. The grid displays with the template columns showing the Title and the Author from the first row in all rows. The other none template columns are fine. Obviously I am not understanding something here.
