Robert,

Here is an example of adding a checkbox into a prexisting template column in
a datagrid.  You can also dynamically add columns to the datagrid prior to
adding the checkbox controls.

        Dim Item As DataGridItem

        Header1.Title = "Site User Admin"
        Try
            With dgUsers
                .DataSource = Site.Users(CStr(Session.Item("SiteID")))
                .DataBind()

                'Add the Checkbox to the grid

                For Each Item In dgUsers.Items
                    Dim Chkbox As New CheckBox()

                    'Check the box if the User has level 2 access or above

                    If CInt(Item.Cells(4).Text) > 1 Then
                        Chkbox.Checked = True
                    Else
                        Chkbox.Checked = False
                    End If
                    Item.Cells(1).Controls.Add(Chkbox)
                Next

            End With
        Catch ex As Exception
            ExceptionManager.Publish(ex)
            Response.Redirect("Error.aspx", False)
        End Try

Hi

I'm trying to build a datagrid which has a dynamic number of columns...

Lets say its a user table. users going down and roles across.

as i add new roles i need to add them to the end of the datagrid
dynamically?

Each column would contain a check box.

Is there a good example of this anywhere?

Thanks

Robert
