hi,i used the trial version of radgridview but I've a problem with defining columns and their names.I've defined the head text but nothing is shown in the control.so I want to use it like the simple gridview.

Hi Mlle,

When you manually add columns to RadGridView you must set the DataField  property of any column to the related column name in the data source object. Alternatively, you can set the DataSource property and RadGridView automatically will be populated.

I hope this helps.

All the best,

Thanks!

Can you give more detail I am trying to set the column names so that they are not generated by the datasource. Can you please explain how to do this?

Thank you!

Hello Frank,

to setup manually  RadGridView columns you can use the next code snippet:

radGridView1.GridElement.BeginUpdate();

radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Clear();
GridViewDataColumn col = new GridViewDataColumn("First");
radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(col);

col = new GridViewDataColumn("Last");
col.HeaderText = "Last Name";
radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(col);

col = new GridViewDataColumn("First");
col.HeaderText = "First Name";
col.UniqueName = "Test"; //map to same data column first with deference unique name
radGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.Columns.Add(col);

radGridView1.GridElement.EndUpdate();

I hope this helps.
