Hello, I'm searching for some information about how to use the databinding properties (from example the datagrid). I kept searching on the net but didn't find any good explanation...

What I exactly mean is, can I replace this code:

dgTest.DataSource = dsTest
dgTest.DataBind()

Into fill in some properties from the datagrid? (using visual studio)
I know it's a weird question, but it's difficult to explain what I really want to know

like ar eyou asking if you can manually "fill" a Dataset... which would be the line right before the DataSource/DataBind line(s)

the answer is "yes".. only example i have ever run across though is in the book "Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 Days"..

but alas, there's more ways to skin a cat than just what you propose....

what about:
- Not Autogenerating Columns and using ItemTemplate instead?
- Use a repeater instead of a DataGrid if you do not need built in edit/delete/paging
- Bring back some "fill" data in your SQL statement?
