everytime when i have 2 columns with the same name in my answer set that i bind to the grid, it automatically add a incrementing number to the end of it.

like
column1             column1                  column1

it will give me this

column1            column11                  column12

1) why does it do that and how do i stop it from doing that?
2) How do i format the cell so that it turn the forecolor to red when it is negative?

Hi Duy,

Could you please specify if your RadGrid columns are auto-generated?

yes this is how i generated the data for the grid

dim dt as new datatable

dt.load(rs)

radgrid1.datasource =dt
radgrid1.databind


and autogeneratecolumn = true.and everytime the column name is the same it automaticallly put an increamenting number next to it. like if 2 columns name is Test then it will be Test1     Test2. How do i keep it as just Test

Hi Duy,

I performed further investigation on your case. And I found that it is not possible to have more than one column with the same name in a DataTable. And when you perform a query into database like:
"Select ID, Test, Test, Test from Table1", the result is a table with columns:
ID, Exp1001, Exp1002, Test.
Therefore I assume that the columns are accepting different names at data level and that is why they are displayed so in the grid.
Additionally, I am attaching a sample project for you. You can check it out and let me know what differs in your case.
