SPGridView and dynamic columns

Question

I would like to display part of a Sharepoint List in a Visual Web Part. I read about SPGridView but how can i make the number of columns dynamic (i don't know how long my list will be beforehand), and how can I create columns in columns ?

Answer 1

Using c# Api, you can find out what are the columns :

Example using :

SPList list = web.List["My list"];
list.Fields...

And create the SPGridView Column dynamically by c# Code as well

GridView listTypeBot = new GridView();

// Create my column
BoundField bf = new BoundField();
bf.HeaderText = "Types of bot available";

// Add my column to my gridview
listTypeBot.Columns.Add(bf);

Code provided as example (not working code)
