Adding a dynamic textbox control to a datagrid with Datatable datasource

[JC]

Hi,

I have a datagrid, and I want to bind this to a datatable, and I would
like to have textbox controls and one button control.

The problem is the textbox controls - they don't render, at run time
it just says 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.TableCell'

Any help would be appreciated.

TextBox txtQty = new TextBox();
txtQty.Text="erm";

TableCell oTc = new TableCell();
oTc.Controls.Add(txtQty);
DataTable oDt = new DataTable();
oDt.Columns.Add("Qty");
oDt.Columns.Add("Price");
oDt.Columns.Add("Details");
oDt.Columns.Add("Action");
DataRow oDr = oDt.NewRow();
oDr["Qty"] = oTc;
oDr["Price"] = "1";
oDr["Details"] = "1";
oDt.Rows.Add(oDr);
dgQty.DataSource = oDt;
dgQty.DataBind();

You seem to be adding the TableCell control to the DataTable, whicvh
contains the data to be rendered. This is why you see the class name. You
need to dynamically create the columns in the DataGrid control to include
the text box. There are plenty of examples on the Web of generating a
DataGrid dynamically, such as:
