Programmatically Setting the Header and Footer Text of a Datagrid September 30 2005

Suppose you wish to create a datagrid programmatically such as:

…
Dim dg as new DataGrid
…

The usual method of binding existing data to this grid is like:

…
dg.datasource = dvMyDataView
dg.databind
…

I have come across the need to add footer data to the datagrid however I first tried to inject the row with my values.

The key to header and footer data at runtime in .NET is column declarations!

When you create a datagrid by hand, create each column individually such as:

…
Dim datagridcol As New BoundColumn
datagridcol.HeaderText = “Market”
datagridcol.DataField = “Application”
dg.Columns.Add(datagridcol)
…

Once you have defined each column, then do the data bind.
