Reorder GridDataBoundGrid columns programatically

[Nick Gardner]

I''m implementing a column builder to allow the user to set (from a custom form) which columns are visible and their display order.

I''ve sorted out the visible side of things using Model.Cols.Hidden, how can I set the order from code?

The grid displays data from a DataView based on a DataTable.

Hi Nick,

To rearrange the columns of the grid, you need to use the Binder.LayoutColumns(). The LayoutColumns() rearranges how the columns should be displayed in the grid and allows you to specify covered cells and / or break records into several rows displayed in the grid.

Here is some code snippet

this.gridDataBoundGrid1.Binder.LayoutColumns( "Id","Points","Name");

Here is a sample.

Please let me know if this helps.

Please note : "-" indicates a covered cell, "." indicates a new row, "" specifies an empty "whitespace" column.
