Well, it's weird. You CAN add a column, if you add it to the end of the list. And yes, you can declare the columns statically in markup and then hide them. But what you can't do is insert columns at runtime into the middle of the list. For instance, we have an app where we have a few columns that need to be on the left, so we declare those statically. Then we have a few columns that need to be on the right so we declare those statically. But then we have a few dynamic columns that are determined at runtime and need to be in between the 'left' and 'right' columns. And this doesn't work. So we are forced to just declare the 'left' columns in markup, and then at runtime we build and add the dynamic columns to the end, and then we also build and add the 'right' columns to the end. It works, but it's kind of a kludgy. The GridViewColumnCollection class has an Insert method, but it doesn't seem to be of any use. I'm kind of surprised this slipped through because normally microsoft is very thorough, but I guess this is why everyone pays for Infragistics and Telerik controls.

Or they build their own tables with a good view engine?
