Add button column to datatable

Question

I am trying to insert a button column into a datatable but it says that its an error. Any help pleasE?

        ButtonColumn col = new ButtonColumn();
        col.CommandName = "select";
        col.ButtonType = ButtonColumnType.LinkButton;
        col.HeaderText = "Edit";
        dt.Columns.Add(col);

Solution 1

Add Buttoncolumn in DataTable its wired ...thats not possible at all...

The DataTable DataColumn DataType property supports the following base .NET Framework data types:

1. Boolean
2. Byte
3. Char
4. DateTime
5. Decimal
6. Double
7. Int16
8. Int32
9. Int64
10. SByte
11. Single
12. String
13. TimeSpan
14. UInt16
15. UInt32
16. UInt64

Sample code to add coplumn

DataTable workTable = new DataTable("Customers"); 
DataColumn workCol = workTable.Columns.Add("CustID", typeof(Int32));
workCol.AllowDBNull = true;

Solution 2

You can add a button only on DataGrid not DataTable.
