How to display RowHeader in a GridView at runtime in C# Asp.Net?

Question

I am new to asp.net, Actually I am designing a web page which is similar to my Windows Form. my windows form consists of a DataGridView which consists of 12 columns and 8 rows at any time. I am showing my windows form below

How can i do this in web page. In windows I am adding 8 rows programmatically to the DatagridView like

dgv.Rows.Add(8);
foreach (DataGridViewRow dgR in dgv.Rows)
        {
            dgR.HeaderCell.Value = Convert.ToChar(dgR.Index + 65).ToString();
        }

but i don't know how to write in Web. Can anybody please help regarding this.

It's a little bit more overhead in asp.net webforms (guess that´s what you are using). Best way would be to create a DataTable. Here is a little example (untested though)

var dt = new DataTable();

//create columns
for(int i = 1; i <= 12; i++){
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(i.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture), typeof(string)));
}

//create rows
for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++){
    var newRow = dt.NewRow();
    for(int j = 1; j <= 12; j++){
        newRow[j.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)] = string.Empty;
    }
    dt.Rows.Add(newRow);
}

myGridView.DataSource = dt;
myGridView.DataBind();

I hope that helps:
