Design Time vs Run Time DataGrid

[Guest]

Is it possible to define the <ItemTemplate> and <EditItemTemplate> in
DataGrid programitically at run-time?

The sample definition is as follows:

//===============================================
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="TestColumnLabel">

<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.str_pblock") %>'>
</asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>

<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox runat="server" Text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container,
"DataItem.str_pblock") %>'>
</asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>

</asp:TemplateColumn>
//===============================================

Absolutely, take a look at the Page.LoadTemplate() function. It behaves a
lot like the Page.LoadControl, but instead of returning an instance of
Control it returns an instance of Itemplate, which can be assigned to the
datagrid's ItemTemplate and/or EditTemplate property. Other than that it
works a lot like a user control.

There are all types of resource (google search for Page.LoadTemplate might
be your best bet):

I think instead of using Container.DataItem you simply use Container
