Gridview question - Just curious

[Guest]

I worked on a fairly large web project about 2 years ago but that was in Dot
Net 1.1. I have no web experience in Dot Net 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005.

I was trying a basic web exercise in VS2005. Create a web project and drag
a table from the server explorer to the designer, thus automatically creating
an editing grid.

What has me confused in this: I can find no built-in provision for ADDING
rows. I cannot find anything related in the events and I cannot find any
discussion in the Help. Even more confusing, there is no Enable Add option
in the GridView properties (unlike Winform's DataGridView).

Am I missing something? (Admittedly, in my old project we rarely edited in
the grids and usually used popups and postbacks for all adding/editing.)

Both GridView in 2.0 and DataGrid in 1.1 are databound controls. They get
their row collection from datasources. You add a row to the datasource,
rebind the grid and it will show the row.
