Gridview - Adding new column

[husna_]

Hello,

My question is: Can I add in new column(S) in the gridview if the column is not found in the database?
- E.g. An indicator if a certain lecturer is a ML/Lec (roles).

I have a gridview that is "extracted" out from the database.
But I want to add in a new row which is not in the database but links to the data in the database.
For example, in the database, I know that a certain lecturer is a module leader, staff.
But I want to have an extra column which can indicate in itself (probably a tick/mark) that the following name (prev column) is a module leader or staff; and i am not allowed to add new column in the database.

Any help appreciated.
Need me to further explain my queries, let me know. :)

DataTable class.

DataTable dt=new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Col1",typeof(int));

without touching the datasource, you can add your column to your gridview directly.

the project is attached to this post.

Form1.cs :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsApplication2
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            dataGridView1.Columns.Add("columnName", "columnHeader");
            dataGridView1.Rows.Add(new object[]{"cell content"});
        }
    }
}

Form1.Designer.cs :

Hello Serkan Sendur,

Thank you for your help.
Although i have download the application, i am not able to run it cuz i am using visual studio 2005 and they are unable to convert it.

Hmmm. I have read the codes, i can understand that you just have to .add it. but for the rest, i cant really understand.

[serkan sendur]

i created it in VS 2005, i dont understand why it didnt open. the rest of the code is from the designer, it is generated code, dont worry about it.
