Here is one sample code that explains how to use the DynamicField class inside a
Gridview
Follow the steps to add dynamic behavior to a GridView
- In Visual Studio 2010 open the Web site.
- Add one EntityDataSource control or the
LinqDataSource control.
- Add a GridView control and
DynamicDataManager control to the page.
- Set the ControlID property of the
DataControlReference element in the DynamicDataManager control to the ID of
the GridView control.
- Set the DataSourceID property of the
GridView control to the ID of the EntityDataSource control or the
LinqDataSource control.
- For each column in the GridView control
add a DynamicField control as shown in the ASPX code below
And set the DataField property of the
DynamicField control to the name of the data column or row that you want to bind
to.
ASPX:
<asp:GridView
ID="GridView1"
runat="server"
DataSourceID="GridDataSource"
EnablePersistedSelection="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False"
GridLines="None"
AllowPaging="True"
