HI all. I am working on a web site that i need to dynamically add menus to a start page depending on if that user has permission to view the menu or not. So i create the menus and put them in a gridview, if the user does not have permission for that menu, I hide that column in the gridview. It works great the way it is. The only problem is a small column at the end that I can' remove. I think it may be because of the way I get the gridview to display. Any help would be appreciated. BTW I am a noob here, so th emay be another way of displaying this as well. I am open to suggestions. Thanks. here is the code.

Dim arrMenu As New ArrayList

'Add Menus to grid

Why don't you try to use the asp:menu control together with the asp:sitemapdatasource control.

It could be something like: 

<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" ShowStartingNode="false" />

<asp:Menu runat="server" ID="TopNavRepeat" DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" ></asp:Menu>

Well I finally figured it out. Thanks for the reply nmgomes, but I could not do it that way. I ended up making a datatable and added a blank row to it, bound it to the gridview, then added the control to the cells. It worked just fine, no little column at the end of the gridview. Then I chose to autoformat the grid like I had done previously. Guess what the little column came back. Jeez! So I took off auto format and applied the colors I wanted.All is well now. THnaks alot.
