Hello all,

Could any provide a link to an example of using a grid without a
datasource? I would like to manually populate the grid as well as
format it.

Thank you,

Warm Regards,

Hello lee,

You can use custom class that returns ICollection interface. See codesnippet
below

public ICollection GroupsDataSource()
{
groupsDataTable = new DataTable("Rule Groups");

groupsDataTable.Columns.Add("GroupID");
groupsDataTable.Columns.Add("GroupName");
groupsDataTable.Columns.Add("AssignedRules");

Random rnd = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
newRow[0] = i.ToString();
newRow[1] = "Group" + i;
newRow[2] = "Rules" + i;

groupsDataTable.LoadDataRow(newRow, true);
}

return new DataView(groupsDataTable);
}

and then bind it to your DataGrid like

DataGrid1.DataSource = setsDataTable;
DataGrid1.DataBind();
