Hi There:

It's a newbie question - I am trying to see if we can use the Datagrid for [u]adding a row</u>, which updates the backend store after the user enters data in that? Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Thx,
Ash

you can use DataSet objects as datasource of your grid,
1-take input data from user,
2-then change your dataset(Adding,Deletting,Updating rows),
3-and finally update your datasource,
I think thisthread could help you more.

The important thing to know about your question is that you can't add a row to a datagrid, you must add a row to the datasource for the grid then re-bind the grid.

Usually, the datasource for the grid is some class that has a item count property. From that you can determine the last item index, then add 1, set the EditItemIndex of the grid to that value and re-bind the grid. Now you have a "new row" in the grid that is set up for data entry. Then you just need to modify your logic a bit to do a data insert instead of an update. When you save the row.
