Is your serial number not in the database?

Are you wanting them to be able to enter in a serial number into the interface?

if you are trying to add a number such as:

1 myFirstColumn mySecondColumn

and you want that number not to be pulled from the DB, then you will need to Create a template column:

<asp:TemplateColumn>
 <ItemTemplate>
  <asp:Label id=&quot;lblRecordNumber&quot; Runat=&quot;server&quot;></asp:Label>
 </ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

and in your code behind you will have to change the label.text property value every time the DataGrid fills a row. You can do that from the DataGrid1_ItemCreated event.
