Converting asp.net table to DataGrid 1

[mais123]

Hi, I have a page that uses asp.net Table (<asp:Table>) to display data. In code it loops through dataset and creates the table. It also appends JS attributes while it does it.
I need to use DataGrid instead now. Creating Datatable instead of generating table is not hard, but we cant add attributes to DataRow's and DataCell's, liek we do for TableCell. And there is a complicated logic for attributes, which is why it makes it hard to move it all to onItemBound event.
Is there any way I can still use Table and somehow bind it, with all its attributes to the DataGrid? Maybe create a class out of table?

Thansk for any help

No, you can't but that is because DataRow's and DataCells are part of the data source not the data control. Instead, you should apply any logic to the cell within the DataGrid row.

And there is a complicated logic for attributes, which is why it makes it hard to move it all to onItemBound event.

Well this is the best place for this logic, so I'd suggest finding a way of making this complicated method easier to implement and add it in this event.

Is there any way to create DataTable from Table(of cource not including attributes)? This would simplify conversion a bit I think

Thanks

For example, adding TableRow to DataTable does not give an error. But what does it produce?

It produces an empty row in the datatable.
