So I'm working on this VB to C# web application migration and came across an issue that I'm hoping there is an easy work around for. There's a webform that uses the GridView control. In code, it passes the columns collection into a method that adds columns dynamically based on the user, permissions, and environment. So, the columns were passed into the function in VB using ByRef like so:
Public Sub PopulateColumns(ByRef ColumnCollection As DataControlFieldCollection)
'Do something
End Sub
Now in C#, I've used the ref keyword, but the columns collection doesn't have a setter. What's my quickest workaround for this? I'm going to be converting this over to a jQuery grid soon so I'm not concerned with best practices, but rather just getting it to work.
Here it is in C#:
public void PopulateColumns(ref DataControlFieldCollection columnCollection)
{
// Something here
}
which is called like this...
.PopulateColumns(ref EmployeeGridView.Columns)
