Adding GridTemplateColumn via codebehind

[James]

Hi,

Is it possible to add a GridTemplateColumn to a grid using the init or load event of the code behind page? My problem is that I add the coumn in design, but if I change the datasource and get the grid to refresh itself in the designer, my custom GridTemplateColumn columns get removed

thx

Bobby

Hello Bobby,

Please examine the following document:
Programmatic creation
You need to scroll down a bit until you reach the "Creating template columns programmatically" section.

Let us know if you need more information.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the reply, just trying it now. I've noticed a mistake on the VB code in the listing however. The class MyTemplate has a method called InstantiateIn, but it hasn't got the implements on the end:

Public Sub InstantiateIn(ByVal container As System.Web.UI.Control)

should be:

Public

 

Sub InstantiateIn(ByVal container As System.Web.UI.Control) Implements ITemplate.InstantiateIn

Hello Bobby,

Thank you for your suggestion.

I already corrected the mentioned line. The updated article should be online soon.

I also updated your Telerik points as a sign of gratitude.
