Hi Chris.

You do realize, of course, that implementing this way will cause you to lose any code that you may have added in any of your grid text boxes. This is not a big deal, if the entire grid is being generated dynamically at run time.

If you are building your grids visually, you may wanted to consider writing a builder that makes this replacement for you at design time instead of at runtime.
