I have the same issue. I have been trying to upgrade from a UltraWebGrid to the WebDataGrid (in 11.1). I need to add a column to the WebDataGrid (in ASP.NET code in VB) on the equivalent event to e 'InitiaizeLayout' (if I can find one!).

I want to have a checkbox control which is NOT BOUND the the dataset of the grid.

Protected Sub uwgBasket_InitializeLayout(ByVal sender As Object, e As Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.BandEventArgs) Handles uwgBasket.InitializeBand

Dim loColumn As Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.BoundDataField ' UltraGridColumn
'CellClickActionDefault = CellClickAction.Edit

loColumn = New Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.BoundDataField ' UltraGridColumn
loColumn.Key = "Remove"
loColumn.Type = ColumnType.CheckBox
loColumn.AllowUpdate = AllowUpdate.Yes
uwgBasket.Columns.Add(loColumn)

Hello Dennis,

If AutoGenerateColumns is set to true and if you have a Bit column in your database the column is rendered by default as checkbox.

For more refer to the attached sample. 

If this is not the same as your scenario please modify your sample to be the same as your scenario and send it back to us so we can provide you with further assistance.

Yes,

I don't want add a new column. All columns are generated automatically. How we can transfer the columns to checkbox, just like Ultradatagrid did?  

Hello Dennis,

Thank you for your update.

Did you check the links I gave you?

I am attaching a working sample of how to create a BoundCheckBoxField column dynamically.

Please let me know if you need anything else.

 .FindItemByKey("undo").Column.Type = Infragistics.Web.UI.GridControls.BoundCheckBoxField()

Is it possible?
