GridView

[kizmar2]

Isn't there a way to do something like this:

<asp:GridView ID="myGridView" DataSourceID="mySqlDataSource" runat="server"
    AutoGenerateColumns = "False"
    AllowPaging  = "True"
    AllowSorting = "True"
    DataKeyNames = "au_id"
    CellPadding  = "4"
    ForeColor    = "#333333"
    GridLines    = "None"
  >
    <Columns>
      <asp:BoundField    HeaderText="ID"         DataField="au_id"    SortExpression="au_id"    ReadOnly="True" />
      <asp:BoundField    HeaderText="First Name" DataField="au_fname" SortExpression="au_fname" />
      <asp:BoundField    HeaderText="Last Name"  DataField="au_lname" SortExpression="au_lname" />
      <asp:BoundField    HeaderText="Address"    DataField="address"  SortExpression="address" />
      <asp:BoundField    HeaderText="City"       DataField="city"     SortExpression="city" />
      <asp:BoundField    HeaderText="State"      DataField="state"    SortExpression="state" />
      <asp:BoundField    HeaderText="Zip Code"   DataField="zip"      SortExpression="zip" />
      <asp:BoundField    HeaderText="Phone"      DataField="phone"    SortExpression="phone" />
      <asp:CheckBoxField HeaderText="Contract"   DataField="contract" SortExpression="contract" />
      <asp:CommandField
        ButtonType       = "Button"
        ShowEditButton   = "True"
        ShowDeleteButton = "True"
      />
    </Columns>
    <HeaderStyle         BackColor="#333399" ForeColor="#FFFFFF" Font-Bold="True" />
    <RowStyle            BackColor="#CCCCCC" />
    <AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="#FFFFFF" />
    <PagerStyle          BackColor="#333399" ForeColor="#FFFFFF" HorizontalAlign="Center" />
  </asp:GridView>

But build all the column headers and bind to data on the code-behind side?

I've been looking all over and can't find examples where people manually create the columns in the aspx.vb file.

What do you want to do, create the columns dynamically?

Yes... and I can't for the life of me find help on this. Everyone wants to use the gui.
