How to add dynamic Texbox in GridView at RunTime?

Question

I would like to add controls like textBox in GridView from code on the fly.

In my project i have one Grid in that i can't decide how many rows and columns are there. so that i just give it DataSource. This working fine.

GridView G = new GridView();
G.DataSourse = dt;
G.DataBind();

now i want to do such thing that in Gridview all the controls are Textbox control so that i can write in that textbox.

TextBox t= new TextBox();
G.Contorls.Add(t);

This will throw exception...

do anyone have any idea about this???

Thanks in advance..

Solution

Why not do it in design time with ItemTemplate

   <asp:GridView ID="GrdDynamic" runat="server">
        <Columns>
            <asp:TemplateField>
                <ItemTemplate>
                    <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="Name" Text='<%#Eval("Name") %>'></asp:TextBox>
                </ItemTemplate>
            </asp:TemplateField>
        </Columns>
    </asp:GridView>

EDIT

Here is an interesting CodeProject post on dynamically adding template columns
