Hello, I make a dataGrid and i like to show the name of the columns of the
dataGrid in a DropDownList. For example, if my dataGrid have three columns
called "NAME" "ADDRESS" "CITY" i like show "NAME" "ADDRESS" "CITY" in the
DropDownList.

Thanks David, and sorry for my poor english.

You can find the names of the columns in the datagrid Columns property
unless the grid is AutoGenerated.

If i create a DropDownList and i use
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "NOMBRE"; in my DropDownList i see the list of
names but i like to do something that this
DropDownList1.DataTextField = "?????????"; to see in the DropDownList

Can you elaborate what exactly the problem is? Creating a ddl? Populating it
with column names? What did you try that didn't work for you?

This is the problem, there can be a different set of columns because the
table of the DataGrid it is going to change very frequently. And i don't know
how many columns have the new table.

David,

Will the dropdownlist always contain items NAME,ADDRESS,CITY? Or there can
be a different set of columns depending on the table bound to the datagrid?

You need to databind the ddl to the datagrid Column collection. Try

<asp:DropDownList ... DataSource = <%# myGrid.Columns %>
DataTextField="HeaderText">

Alternatively you can do it in the code. Note again, that this will work
only for non-AutoGenerated columns.
