Hi All, Thanks so much for your suggestions..
I am thinking of using an ADG and States combination as Tracy mentioned.. All my DataGird Columns are different and at any given point of time i need to display only one DataGrid ( This might change in future when users want to view more Views). So i will build the Column Arrays and corresponding dataProviders Thanks again Mars --- In [email protected], "Daniel Gold" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think if you wanted to reuse a single DataGrid and states, you would have > to keep multiple Arrays representing the columns each DataGrid needed, and > in your states set the columns property of the DataGrid to the appropriate > Array of columns, and then set the dataProvider to the appropriate > dataProvider for that grid.
