Flex2中，DataGrid如果我们没有指定columns熟悉的话，DataGrid会自动根据dataProvider的各行数据的属性名隐式自动地创建列，例如如下代码：
layout="vertical" creationComplete="loadDgView()">
[Bindable]
public var works:Array= [
{ id: 1, name: ’feiy’, sex: ’male’},
{ id: 2, name: ’wenj’, sex: ’fmale’}];
private var worksColumns:Array= [
{ columnName: "id",headerText: "work’s id",width: 100},
{ columnName: "name",headerText: "work’s name",width: 200},
{ columnName: "sex",headerText: "work’s sex",width: 100}];
[Bindable]
public var departments:Array=[
{ id: 1, name: ’tech dept.’},
{ id: 2, name: ’service dept.’}];
private var departmentsColumns:Array= [
{ columnName: "id",headerText: "department’s id",width: 200},
{ columnName: "name",headerText: "department’s name",width:200}];
private function loadDgView(){
if(type_cb.selectedIndex==0){
view_dg.dataProvider=works;
}else{
view_dg.dataProvider=departments;
}
}
]]>
layout="vertical" creationComplete="loadDgView()">
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
[Bindable]
public var works:Array= [
{ id: 1, name: ’feiy’, sex: ’male’},
{ id: 2, name: ’wenj’, sex: ’fmale’}];
private var worksColumns:Array= [
{ columnName: "id",headerText: "work’s id",width: 100},
{ columnName: "name",headerText: "work’s name",width: 200},
{ columnName: "sex",headerText: "work’s sex",width: 100}];
[Bindable]
public var departments:Array=[
{ id: 1, name: ’tech dept.’},
{ id: 2, name: ’service dept.’}];
private var departmentsColumns:Array= [
{ columnName: "id",headerText: "department’s id",width: 200},
{ columnName: "name",headerText: "department’s name",width:200}];
private function loadDgView(){
if(type_cb.selectedIndex==0){
var columns:Array=new Array();
for(var i:int;i var item:Object=worksColumns[i];
var dgColumn:DataGridColumn=new DataGridColumn();
dgColumn.columnName=item.columnName;
dgColumn.headerText=item.headerText;
dgColumn.width=item.width;
columns.push(dgColumn);
}
view_dg.columns=columns;
view_dg.dataProvider=works;

dgColumn.columnName=item.columnName;
dgColumn.headerText=item.headerText;
dgColumn.width=item.width;
columns.push(dgColumn);

view_dg.columns=columns;
view_dg.dataProvider=departments;
}
}

当我们选择works时，DataGrid自动根据dataProvider：works数组中的数据生成三列的DataGridColumn；而选择departments时，又相应的变更为两列，非常的方便。
DataGrid组件的这一功能是Flex1.5中所不具有的，是Flex2中的一大改进。
但是如果我们DataGrid的表头与列明不一致的时候，或者我们并不需要显示每行所有的数据，这时候DataGrid的隐式自动创建列的方法就不再适用了，这时候，我们就需要自己手动来创建列。
DataGrid使用columns属性来标识列信息，column属性是一个mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn数组，所以要动态创建表格列，只需要创建一个DataGridColumn数组，然后将其赋值给DataGrid的columns属性就可以了。前面示例的代码，我们改进如下：
import mx.controls.gridclasses.DataGridColumn;
[Bindable]
public var works:Array= [
{ id: 1, name: ’feiy’, sex: ’male’},
{ id: 2, name: ’wenj’, sex: ’fmale’}];
private var worksColumns:Array= [
{ columnName: "id",headerText: "work’s id",width: 100},
{ columnName: "name",headerText: "work’s name",width: 200},
{ columnName: "sex",headerText: "work’s sex",width: 100}];
[Bindable]
public var departments:Array=[
{ id: 1, name: ’tech dept.’},
{ id: 2, name: ’service dept.’}];
private var departmentsColumns:Array= [
{ columnName: "id",headerText: "department’s id",width: 200},
{ columnName: "name",headerText: "department’s name",width:200}];
private function loadDgView(){
if(type_cb.selectedIndex==0){
var columns:Array=new Array();
for(var i:int;i
var dgColumn:DataGridColumn=new DataGridColumn();
dgColumn.columnName=item.columnName;
dgColumn.headerText=item.headerText;
dgColumn.width=item.width;
columns.push(dgColumn);
}
view_dg.columns=columns;
view_dg.dataProvider=works;
}else{
var columns:Array=new Array();
for(var i:int;i
var dgColumn:DataGridColumn=new DataGridColumn();
dgColumn.columnName=item.columnName;
dgColumn.headerText=item.headerText;
dgColumn.width=item.width;
columns.push(dgColumn);
}
view_dg.columns=columns;
view_dg.dataProvider=departments;
}
}
]]>
红色部分为增加的代码，相对之前的代码，我们增加了两个数组：worksColumns和departmentsColumns，分别存放相应数据的DataGridColumn属性，然后在loadDgView函数中，根据相应的Column数组创建相应的DataGridColumn数组，最后将其赋值给view_db.columns。
