im keeping running totals of certain columns in a datagrid, id like to put
these totals in the footer - how do i do this ? or how can i put a label
into the footer ? (im displaying results using labels instead at the moment)
eg

Label5.Text = "Column 1 Total:- " & mordraw & " (Ratio " &
FormatNumber(ddpercent, 2) & "%)"

id like that putting in the column1 footer if possible
thanks

in your itemdatabound event handler:
if(e.item.listtype == listtype.footer)
{
e.item.cells[2].text = "some total";
}

roughly (meaning it won't compile but this is the general idea)

problem is i dont have an event handler - the datagrid is created on runtime
(its a report)

you will need to dynamically wire in an event handler then.
