Bindable properties for programmatically created column

[Mikael]

Hi!

I am creating my RadGrid entirely programmatically, no declarations in any ASPX-page.
My question concerns if it somehow is possible to bind properties of a certain column.
For instance, let's save I create a GridButtonColumn:
GridButtonColumn bc = new GridButtonColumn();
... // set up the column
bc.CommandName = DoMagicBindingToField("CommandNameColumn");
In this case, the button for each row in the grid would have a CommandName that comes from the CommandNameColumn-column in the datasource.

Is there anything like DoMagicBindingToField?
In other words, I would like to do something that corresponds to the following declaration in an ASPX-page:
<telerik:GridButtonColumn CommandName="<% eval("CommandNameColumn")">

I believe I can do this with template-columns, but that is not an option for my, I need to use GridButtonColumn.

Many thanks!

Hi Fredrik,

One suggestion would be to access the LinkButton from the GridButtonColumn in the ItemDataBound event and set its CommandName to the text of the desired column.

CS:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridDataItem)
        {
            GridDataItem item = (GridDataItem)e.Item;
            LinkButton lnkbtn = (LinkButton)item["ButtonColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
            lnkbtn.CommandName = item["CommandNameColumn"].Text;
        }
   }

Thanks
