That should work, if you are not doing the entire grid you have to prevent the grid from blowing up with one of the standard techniques. Also this adds the column to the end of the grid so you may need to adjust the column order as well.

>>If you want to add a column dynamically you can use .AddObject with a subclassed custom grid column. Also please note there are some security issues associated with the method described in the article depending on where the data is and who has access. You can inject a case statement to just allow certain properties to be user managed.
