Anyone using this event?

I saw it from an example at
http://www.telerik.com/community/code-library/aspnet-ajax/grid/adding-custom-column-dynamically.aspx
For adding columns dynamically.

I need to provide editing for a PivotTable-like data structure.
I will have varying columns and rows, and I wanted to provide a grid full of textboxes for the user to do mass edit.
I'll iterate through the rows and columns to do a save on a button click.

The problem is, in my grid, the debugger never hits on the ColumnCreating event.
It will only hit on the ColumnCreated event.

here is the grid definition.
                                        <telerik:RadGrid ID="gridEvil" runat="server" GridLines="None" OnColumnCreating="gridEvil_ColumnCreating">  
                                            <MasterTableView> 
                                                <RowIndicatorColumn> 
                                                    <HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle> 
                                                </RowIndicatorColumn> 
                                                <ExpandCollapseColumn> 
                                                    <HeaderStyle Width="20px"></HeaderStyle> 
                                                </ExpandCollapseColumn> 
                                            </MasterTableView> 
                                            <FilterMenu EnableTheming="True">  
                                                <CollapseAnimation Type="OutQuint" Duration="200"></CollapseAnimation> 
                                            </FilterMenu> 
                                        </telerik:RadGrid> 
 
It's pretty basic.  Please note that I get the same result with or without the OnColumnCreating="gridEvil_ColumnCreating" in the declaration

It also does not matter if I define the signature of the sub with or without  Handles gridEvil.ColumnCreating

Do I have to do something special to get this event to fire?

Hello Bob,

Generally ColumnCreating event will be fired if the grid does not know the column type (as in our example). To put all items in edit mode you can use the technique from this code library: Excel-like RadGrid
