Hi,

Can any one share code for adding a blank row to a GridView? I want to add a blank row to the top of the grid, i.e., on index[0].

Thanks in advance.

Solution 1

I would say the easiest way is to add an empty record to the datasource before it is bound to the grid.

You may be able to handle the databound event and add a row.

Solution 2

Is the GridView databound? If so, insert a row to the underlying table.

DataTable dt ...

DataRow newRow = dt.NewRow();
// set row fields
dt[0] = "whatever";

dt.Rows.InsertAt(0, newRow);

myDataGrid.DataSource = dt;
