Add button column to datatable

Question

I am trying to insert a button column into a datatable but it says that its an error. Any help pleasE?

        ButtonColumn col = new ButtonColumn();
        col.CommandName = "select";
        col.ButtonType = ButtonColumnType.LinkButton;
        col.HeaderText = "Edit";
        dt.Columns.Add(col);

1. you really not adding to `datatable` you need to add it to datagrid. 2. Mind to share what kind of error you getting or we need to guess? — Renatas M., Apr 11 '12 at 10:29

Add Buttoncolumn in DataTable its wired ...thats not possible at all...

The DataTable DataColumn DataType property supports the following base .NET Framework data types:

Boolean
Byte
Char
DateTime
Decimal
Double
Int16
Int32
Int64
SByte
Single
String
TimeSpan
UInt16
UInt32
UInt64

Sample code to add coplumn

DataTable workTable = new DataTable("Customers"); 
DataColumn workCol = workTable.Columns.Add("CustID", typeof(Int32));
workCol.AllowDBNull = true;

You can add a button only on DataGrid not DataTable.
