data grid

[vbgladiator]

Hey,

How would I add rows and columsn to the data grid control without binding it. I do not want to bind any data to it and populate it manually?

Thanks,

I have code for this. I will be back in a few

Here, I copied it from one of my earlier projects.
Let me know if you have problems with it.

'Here is how you create an empty datagrid, to show
'empty values when your page loads...

Dim mydatacolumn As New DataColumn
Dim mydatatable As New DataTable
 
 
        Dim columnsneeded As Integer
        columnsneeded = 6
 
        While (columnsneeded > 0)
            mydatatable.Columns.Add(mydatacolumn)
            mydatacolumn = New DataColumn
            columnsneeded = columnsneeded - 1
        End While
 
 
        mydatatable.Columns(0).ColumnName = "Mixed"
        mydatatable.Columns(1).ColumnName = "Box Number"
        mydatatable.Columns(2).ColumnName = "Description"
        mydatatable.Columns(3).ColumnName = "Create Date"
        mydatatable.Columns(4).ColumnName = "Location"
        mydatatable.Columns(5).ColumnName = "Active"
 
        Dim mydatarow As DataRow
 
        Dim columns As Integer
        columns = 0
        Dim values(5) As Object
 
        While (columns < 6)
            values(columns) = "0"
            columns = columns + 1
        End While
 
        mydatatable.Rows.Add(values)
        mydatatable.Rows.Add(values)
        mydatatable.Rows.Add(values)
        mydatatable.Rows.Add(values)
        mydatatable.Rows.Add(values)
        mydatatable.Rows.Add(values)
        mydatatable.Rows.Add(values)
        mydatatable.Rows.Add(values)
 
        Dim mydataset As New DataSet
        mydataset.Tables.Add(mydatatable)
 
        mydatagrid_OT.DataSource = mydataset
        mydatagrid_OT.DataBind()
