Why column count is 0 for GridView

Question

Friends, I\'m populating a GridView in my asp.net application using following code.

    GridView grdExport = new GridView();
    DataSet dsRecord = objHelper.gRe         


        

Answer 1

Your GridViewColumn Column will be set after binding your data. So just show a MessageBox.Show to find the column count.

grdExport.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
MessageBox.Show(grdExport.Columns.Count.ToString());
