Declaring the name of a grid

[eagle]

How can I declare the name of a grid, then use it to bind it to the
datasource?

I have 3 grids, each with different id's. dgOne, dgTwo, dgThree. I want to
be able to do things to each grid. So I need to pass the name of the grid
to the GetData procedure. What I have done so far:

arrGridNames(1) = "One"
arrGridNames(2) = "Two"
arrGridNames(3) = "Three"

dg = "dg" & arrGridNames(1)

so that I come up with dgOne. But of course that is a string, and can't be
a datagrid, so when I try to bind it, I get the error: public member
'Datasource" on type 'String' not found.

How would I do this?

Use the FindControl Method.

Here is an example of what you could do, I'm typing this straight into the
email without an IDE, so you'll pardon any syntax errors.

Dim dgTemp As New DataGrid
dgTemp = CType(Page.FindControl("DataGrid1or2or3"), DataGrid)
dgTemp.DataSource = dt
dgTemp.DataBind();
