AutoGenerateColumns Get Columns and Names

[Igon]

Hi,

I have a RadGrid and the AutoGenerateColumns is set to true.

I am setting the DataSource and binding the Grid. Everything is fine and I can see the result.

My columns are not defined on design time. And I  want to operate on the columns in runtime.

The Question is ,  how can I get the colums names. 

If I type RadGrid.Columns.Count  I receive  0 as value.  Is ther a way to get the Names of the columns.

Thanks in advance

Hello Igor,

You can either use AutoGeneratedColumns or RenderColumns collections:

string name = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.AutoGeneratedColumns[0].UniqueName;

Getting familiar with server-side API

Let us know if you need more information.

Hi,

You can access the Columns using its UniqueName property. The UniqueName property for an AutoGeneratedColumn is the same as the DataField for that particular column in the DataBase.
cs:

 protected void RadGrid1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

      int index = RadGrid1.MasterTableView.GetColumnSafe("ColumnUniqueName").OrderIndex;

    }

Thanks
Princy.
