What I am really trying to do is take some code from my MDIChild Form and put it in my Class ClassControl. In my MDIChild Form I have the following code in the Form_Load: ClassDB.LoadDataTableRecord(RunAs dataGridViewTemp); I am trying to put it in my Class ClassControl like the following but it give me an error at run time. ClassDB.LoadDataTableRecord(RunAs ((Form)sender).GetType().GetField(dataGridViewTemp).GetValue(((Form)sender)); Maybe I some syntax wrong?

I dont want to actually display the datagridview. I just need it for internal use. So I can loop thru it for now.

You can set the Datagrid location and size as below dgv.Name = dgv1 ; dgv.Location = new Point ( 27 180 ); dgv.Size = new Size ( 240 150 );

Marimuthu: I needed to do it for a DataGridView instead if a DataGrid. I am new but I think that they act really different. Also the grd.ID comes up as an error. Probably because I dont have the 'using' for it.

You mean you want to dynamicallly add the GridView control in form. If it's DataTable dt = new DataTable (); dt.Columns.Add( Name ); DataRow dr = dt.NewRow(); dr[ Name ] = Muthu ; dt.Rows.Add(dr); GridView grd = new GridView (); grd.ID = grdView1 ; grd.EmptyDataText = The data is empty. ; form1.Controls.Add(grd); grd.DataSource = dt; grd.DataBind();
