DataGrid without data

[Lee]

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,

I am not sure why you are trying to do a unbound mode in a DataGrid.. Can
you be more specific?... I would still take the data, move it to a DataTable
and then add the datatable for DataSource It would be easier to work with
the data... Also look at the below link for more tips, that might help you
out..

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();
