hi

i am creating a datatable during run-time and want to associate a table
style to the datagrid that displays the datatable. i have included a breif
illustration

private:DataSet __gc *datasetPpl;

public:DataTable __gc *datatablePpl;   //data table that i want to display
in the datagrid

public:DataColumn __gc *datacolumnPpl;

public:DataRow __gc *datarowPpl;

{

//initializations for the above and the datagrid(dataGrid1)

}

this->dataCategory = new DataColumn(S"FullName");   //adding column to data
table

this->dataCategory->DataType = System::Type::GetType(S"System.String");

this->datatablePpl->Columns->Add(dataCategory);

//add new rows (static association), String type

this->dataGrid1->DataSource = datasetPpl;

this->dataGrid1->DataMember = S"tablePpl";

DataGridTableStyle* ts = new DataGridTableStyle();

ts->MappingName=S"datatablePpl"; // DO-NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE PROPER WAY TO
ASSOCIATE MAPPING NAME

//and further down for the columnstyle,

DataGridColumnStyle* name = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();

name->MappingName = S"FullName"; //DO-NOT KNOW IF THIS IS THE PROPER WAY TO
ASSOCIATE MAPPING NAME

name->HeaderText = S"Full Name of Person";

name->Width = 300;

ts->GridColumnStyles->Add(name);

I am not able to get the table style to work when the datagrid is displayed.
(the data is displayed in the datagrid)

Please let me know if there are any errors and if there is a better way of
going abt it.

cheers!
