Adding rows to an unbound GridView in ASP.Net 2.0

I would like to be able to populate the rows of a gridview at runtime, but I cannot figure out how.

I would expect to see a GridView1.Rows.Add() property, but it doesn't seem to exist.

digitalZo: I'm not familiar with the "DataSet" object they are using in that example. I would like to use a GridView.

The user is going to be adding/removing data from another control, and I want this to update my gridview. So I don't want to bind the gridview to a database.

There must be a way to manually add rows to a gridview, right?

OK. I was having some trouble because it wouldn't allow me to do this:

DataRow dataRowObject = new DataRow();

I would get an error: "System.Data.DataRow.DataRow(System.Data.DataRowBuilder)' is inaccessible due to its protection level".

But got it working like this:

DataTable dt = new DataTable();
dt.Columns.Add("Name",System.Type.GetType("System.String"));
dt.Columns.Add("Check1",System.Type.GetType("System.Boolean"));
object[] x = new object[2];
x[0] = "Marc";
x[1] = false;
dt.Rows.Add(x);
GridView1.DataSource = dt;
GridView1.DataBind();

Thanks for the help, digitalZo.

I do have another question: Some of my fields that I want to use are checkboxes, and when I run this, the checkboxes are disabled; I cannot change their values. I'll add a separate question for this.
