I have a user control (called data_dictionary ) which I need to add
into the header text of a datagrid. I'm doing this by adding the
control in the RowCreated event as follows:
dds_description s is an arraylist of strings. data_dictionary is the
user control
The problem I have, is that the 'cell.Controls. Add(dds_item(ko unt))'
seems to overwrite the 'cell.Controls. Add(lbl_temp)', and I get left
with no Column header.
Ideas?
Cheers.
