GridView Constructor
Initializes a new instance of the GridView class.
Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Use this constructor to initialize a new instance of the GridView class. To dynamically add a GridView control to a page, create a new GridView object, set its properties, and then add it to the Control.Controls collection of a container control, such as PlaceHolder.
The following example demonstrates how to use the constructor to dynamically add a GridView control to a page.
