Hi there,

Im new to vs.net 2005.ive used 2003.can u tell me how to manuallly bind the gridview in asp.net 2.0 .i did search over the net but couldnt get any answers.and if possible if u no tell me the best book to read thru.

Exactly as you did in .NET 1.x.

In Code Behind, set its DataSource (not DataSourceID) to a valid data source and then call DataBind().

You are aware of all the new *DataSOurce controls, aren't you?

Hello Imaar,
i.e.
GridView1.DataSource=SqlDataSource.SelectCommand
GridView1.DataBind()

or is it
GridView1.DataSource=SqlDataSource
GridView1.DataBind()

i tried it, but its not working.and how do you set the datakeyname thru code.if u dont mind just write the code.

Depending on where your data comes from, you can do different things.

For example, if you have a data source like a DataTable or, an Array, or a collection or whatever, you can do this:

GridView1.DataSource = myDataTable
GridView1.DataBind()

Replace myDataTable with your object.

Alternatively, if you want to use the data from a *DataSource control, you can do this:

GridView1.DataSourceID = mySqlDataSource.ID
GridView1.DataBind()

or

GridView1.DataSourceID = "myDataSource"
GridView1.DataBind()

This sets the DataSourceID property of the GridView to the ID of the data source instead of assigning its DataSource property.

Cheers,

Imar
