Hi

I'm on version 1.1.

Not sure if this is possible. I've got a datagrid on a webpage with 3
columns, ID, Name and Email. The datagrid does not need to be connected to a
datasource. I just want it to be populated by user selection from a drop down
list. So each time the user selects a name from the drop down list I want a
row to be added to the datagrid with the from the drop down list inserted
into the columns.

Any ideas how I can do this. I have quite a bit of experience populating
datagrids with datasets that are filled from a backend database, but have no
idea how to populate them manually in code.

Thanks
Julia

The datagrid does need to be connected to a datasource. It is the datasource
that doesn't need to be connected to a database.Organize your data to any
in-memory collection, like an array etc, and it will be your datasource.
Databind the grid to it.
