Datagrid not visible on web app form

[John Lundrigan]

I have been using datagrids on an existing web application. I needed
to try an experiment and I created a new web form. I dropped a grid
onto the form and set it's properties. When I browse the aspx page the
datagrid is not visible. If I drop other controls like buttons on the
form they show up OK. Any ideas please?

You need to bind the grid to a datasource in order for it to be visible.

Thanks Morgan,
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work. I've tried from
another machine and so I'm assuming the error is mine. The bindings
are the same as the other page which works.

If you bind the datagrid to a data source it should work. Can you show some
pieces of code of what you are doing? Then maybe we could tell you what you
are doing wrong.
