>I want to build a datagrid but not in the HTML side of the ASP.NET page, but instead in the code side, using a text or some other easily modifiable file. That is, I would like ALL properties of the Grid to be defined in this text file (e.g. XML file) and have my Code side of the page building the grid on-the-fly.
