first time using gridview

[goldie11]

Hi,

This is the first time I use a gridview.
I have two big problems:

1) I need to assign the columns of the gridview from the code (the cs
file )- because the assignment of the columns depends on the user.
Different users see different columns.

2) There is a dataTable column that I need to convert in the code
before showing it - from number to specific text. Where do I do the
conversion ? The gridview datasource contains, as I understand, only
one datasource.

I hope that I am clear.
Mayby someone has an idea?
Thanks.
Ruthie.

Hi,

Problem 1 is solved by using -
grid1.ColumnFields.Add(field);

Problem 2 - not a clue.

Thanks.

2) do it in RowDataBound event. It fires as the rows get bound to the data
source. At this stage you can access the values of all columns and process
them as needed.
