add new column in gridview using vb.net

[nutsxiera]

hi all.. do anyone know how to add a new column in gridview using vb.net syntax?

the column that i want to add is not bind to any database unlike the other column in the same gridview.


i try to use
GridView1.Columns.Add("Percentage")
but it turn out to be error.
the error said " Value of type 'String' cannot be converted to 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlField'"



i'm still new in vb.net and hope that all of you can help me

thanks in advance

You would have to add a control that inherits DataControlField.

One important note that is usually overlooked. You must add the new column before databinding, otherwise it will not be included.
