custom *arbitrary* TemplateField definitions
- by end-user
I'm building a GridView on the fly, and I'd like to pre-define the TemplateFields to be included ondemand. So, what I'd like to do is have a declarative file that defines how the different templates look for a specific column. Like:
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
this is a text column
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
data goes here
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox Text="databindhere" />
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<HeaderTemplate>
this is a bool column
</HeaderTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
if(true) "yes" else "no"
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:CheckBox Checked="databindme" />
</EditItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
So, if my query had a text and two bool fields, I could push the appropriate TemplateFields in the the Columns property as needed. (I hope I'm making sense here)
So, how would I go about creating declarative files for the above definitions? And then, how would I reference those definitions programmatically?
