I need to use a RadGridView, so I can assign the DataSource.

 

However, when I do the following code, i get zero rows and columns.  What am I missing

 

 

List<Records> data = dbc.Records.ToList();
RadGridView gv = new  RadGridView();
gv.BeginUpdate();
gv.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
gv.AutoGenerateHierarchy = true;
gv.DataSource = data;
gv.EndUpdate();

 

 

When I look at the gridview, after the datasource is set, the row count and column count are zero?  Again, What I am doing wrong? The only thing that is different then what we are doing in our application, is the grid is not on a FORM.

 

Thanks

Okay, after doing some more searching..i found that I have to initialize the BindingContext.

Hi, Mark,

I am glad that you have already managed to found out why your grid remains empty after setting the DataSource. Initializing manually the BindingContext is required when you create and bind RadGridView programmatically in the code.

Please let me know if you have other questions.
