You need to create Bound Columns with column names from DB table you going to bind. After creation just bind the datatable to the gridview datasource.

After adding the bound fields to the gridview, you can add the new row by using the above code. Have you checked that?

Hi Vijay, The code u have given is for gridview which has not been created dynamically... I have created the bound fields dynamically.. In that case how will u add a blank row to the gridview?

Take a button control in footer as AddNewRow then on click event of that button call the below code For example: public void AddNewRow() { DataTable dt = new DataTable(); dt.Columns.Add("SrNo", typeof(int)); dt.Columns.Add("Name", typeof(string)); dt.Columns.Add("City", typeof(string)); foreach (GridViewRow grv in GridView1.Rows) { DataRow dtrow; dtrow = dt.NewRow(); dtrow["SrNo"] = ((Label)grv.FindControl("lblSrNo")).Text; dtrow["Name"] = ((TextBox)grv.FindControl("txtName")).Text; dtrow["City"] = ((TextBox)grv.FindControl("txtCity")).Text; dt.Rows.Add(dtrow); } DataRow dtrow1; dtrow1 = dt.NewRow(); dt.Rows.Add(dtrow1); GridView1.DataSource = dt; GridView1.DataBind(); } protected void btnAddNewRow_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { AddNewRow(); }
