Columns missing

[John Giblin]

When using the rad grid I dont see the columns until I bind.  I have AutoGenerateColumns="False".  Any way to see the columns?

[sitefinitysteve]

Try using the NeedsDataSource Event, you wont ever need to bind at all

[John Giblin]

I added the NeedsDataSource Event with nothing in it.  and I still do now see any columns.

[sitefinitysteve]

If you're doing your binding in NeedsDataSource now, and with AutoGenerateColumns is false, then you need to create your column definitions

<telerik:GridBoundColumn  UniqueName="ContactTitle" HeaderText="Bound Column" DataField="ContactTitle" />

Do me a favour, set AutoGeneratedColumns to True

(also can you post the rgSellingTitles_NeedsDataSource code?)

[John Giblin]

Sorry I got it.  Originally I had

 

protected void rgSellingTitles_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)

 

 

{

 

}

then changed it to
protected void rgSellingTitles_NeedDataSource(object sender, GridNeedDataSourceEventArgs e)

{

    rgSellingTitles.DataSource =

 

new DataTable();

 

 

 

 

}

 

Thanks for your help
