Datagrid column customization

[Jon]

I have a datagrid that is not bound to a dataset until the user inputs
information, so the datasource (and number/name of columns) is not
determined until runtime. However, I do know that the first column will
alsways need to be a link which uses the value of the first column as part
of the link.

I've looked up some information on column templates, hyperlink columns,
etc...but, I'm unsure which is best for my situation. Could someone point
me in the right direction?

Thanks

Jon,

You can define the first column in design time and add other columns
dynamically in run time. If you want an advice on the type of the other
columns, please provide some details on them.

The other columns will just be displayed as they are returned from the
database. Can you give me some details on how to define the first column?

Thanks

Thanks. I got it working for the first column. It successfully creates the
link with the data from the database.

I can't find a way to specify it should be the second column in
order...instead of the first. I mistyped before, the second column is
always the one that needs to be hyperlinked....

Thanks

What about defining the first column as a bound one in design time and then
setting up data fields etc in run time?

The other columns, from the third on, should be also bound ones.

Yes, I think that will work. Thanks for your ideas.
