[RESOLVED] [02/03] Datagrid column Count return 0 always ...

[Coool]

Hi all,

I have bind datagrid dynamically through coding .. it display 2 columns at runtime.

Now i want to make the First column align Right while second to Left.

So i tried to solve it using

DataGrid.Columns(0).Style.HorizontalAlignment = .....Right

But the problem i face is that when i use

Datagrid1.Datasource = ds.Tables(0)
'Response.Write(Datagrid.Columns.Count) 
Datagrid1.Databinding()
Response.Write(Datagrid.Columns.Count)

it always gives 0

I know this problem is due to dynamic column binding. But don't know how to solve it..

Help me URGENT..

Could you just get the count off of your ds?

ok to be more specific..

DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables(1)
 
Response.Write(ds.Tables(1).Columns.Count) ' This Return 2
Response.Write(DataGrid1.Columns.Count)' This Return 0
 
 
DataGrid1.DataBind()
 
Response.Write(ds.Tables(1).Columns.Count) ' This Return 2
Response.Write(DataGrid1.Columns.Count) '' This Return 0

I am using Dynamic binding..

But as I was saying its easier to just reference your datasets column collection. The columns collection is never used when dynamically generated.

Automatically generated columns are not added to the Columns collection.

Sorry couldn't think of this easy method earlier..

DataGrid1.AutoGenerateColumns = False
        DataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables(1)
        Dim bCol As New BoundColumn
        bCol.DataField = "FieldValue"
        bCol.ItemStyle.HorizontalAlign = HorizontalAlign.Right
        DataGrid1.Columns.Add(bCol)
        DataGrid1.DataBind()
