datagrid not visible

[JMM427]

I am new to asp .net and i'm trying to create a simple web form with a datagrid to display data. I put the data grid on the form, created all the database connections, etc. and bound the data, but when I build and browse the datagrid is not visible. Is there a simple answer?

This usually happens when your datasource is Nothing.

Check to make sure you are getting data back in the datasource you are binding to.

Another mistake that I have done in the past is bind a dataset, instead of one of the tables in the dataset.

I am having the same problem
I can't figure it out.
I have a Database class called Database, that just returns datasets for any given SQL SELECT statement.
This works.

I have:

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Dim ds As DataSet
        Dim db As New Database
        ds = db.GetDataSet("SELECT * FROM Users")
        grdUsers.DataSource = ds
    End Sub

When I do:

? ds.Tables.Item(0).Rows.Count

Then it returns a 1, which is correct. I have 1 user in my table.
But the datagrid is just not visible
I have tried the above and:

grdUsers.DataSource = ds.Tables(0)

Yet I still can't see the table

Fixed it
You need to do:

grdUsers.DataSource = ds
grdUsers.DataBind
