populating a gridview in a Page_Load method

[laziale]

Hi there! I have an issue and I hope I can get some advice how I can fix this. Here is my issue: I am creating a web site, and on one page, I have a gridview. I want the gridview to be populated from a code from the Page_Load method, actually a query according to the username, so I can retrieve the data what I need for the logged user and populate in the gridview. Is it possible to do that? I am using VS2005. Thx ahead, Laziale

Yes, of course you can do that - it's what most of the asp.net sites out there do. Have a look at some of the tutorials on www.asp.net[^], or www.4guysfromrolla.com[^].

thx for the reply, I was trying to find some nice example, but without any success so far. Can you point to me some nice example or write few lines of code how it should be done? I will appreciate a lot, thx ahead, Laziale

One thing to consider. If you populate it in the page load, then any events that may fire, will fire after you populate it. The prerender event is generally the right place to put data into databound controls, it fires after button events.
