This is my first attempt at using a datagrid and I'm having MAJOR problems.  I can't get the grid to show up on my webpage! 
Everything seems to be working fine but NO GRID!  I've followed all the code examples I could find but to no avail! Everything is fine.  The connection opens, the data is returned but the no grid where it should be on the page its just blank!

PLEASE can someone point out what I'm doing wrong!!!!

See code below

I have the following code in my .apsx file

asp:DataGrid id="dgridCustomers" style="Z-INDEX: 106; LEFT: 72px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 240px" runat="server"


and the following function is called from an event on the server triggered by a button

private void UseDataAdapter()
{
SqlConnection conn = null;
bool isOpen = false;
try
{
conn = new SqlConnection(this.Session["SQL_CONNECTION"].ToString());
conn.Open();
isOpen = true;
DataTable tbl = new DataTable("Customers");
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from Customers",conn);
da.Fill(tbl);

// do this just to check if we got good data back!
for( int i = 0; i < tbl.Rows.Count; i++)
{
Response.Write(tbl.Rows[0] + "<br />");
}

dgridCustomers.DataSource = tbl.DefaultView;
dgridCustomers.DataMember = "Customers";
dgridCustomers.Visible = true;

goto RETURN;

catch( SqlException sEx )
{
lblMessage.Text = sEx.Message;
goto RETURN;
}

RETURN:
if( isOpen )
conn.Close();

public void EditRow(object sender, DataGridCommandEventArgs e)

this.dgridCustomers.EditItemIndex = e.Item.ItemIndex;

int readType = Convert.ToInt16(rdoReadTypes.SelectedValue.ToString());

switch( readType )

case 1:

break;

case 2:

break;

case 3:

break;

here is the initialize component code
hope this helps!

private void InitializeComponent()

this.btnGetData.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.GetData_Click);

this.dgridCustomers.EditCommand += new System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGridCommandEventHandler(this.EditRow);

this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

Try it with this method :

The datagrid tag in the aspx page should be having "OnEditCommand="dgridCustomers_Edit"

Register the event as
dgridCustomers.EditCommand +=
             new DataGridCommandEventHandler(this.dgridCustomers_Edit);

If this is what you have done then it should work and maybe you can try it on a different page if the current page is not working. Create a new page, add a datagrid register the event and see what happens.

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)

// Put user code to initialize the page here

// Put user code to initialize the page here

// run through the controls on the page and place this at the top of the form

//Page.FindControl("Form1").Controls.AddAt(0, menu );

if( !this.IsPostBack )
