Removing rules attribute from asp.net gridview

Question

i have a gridview i wish to style without borders but whenever i use the control asp.net adds in the attribute rules="all" i've tried overriding in on the control like so:

<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" rules="none">

but this doesn't work either

Answer 1

Specify GridLines="None" in the asp:GridView tag or in your code-behind:

myGridView.GridLines = GridLines.None

Additionally, if you have time, it's worth looking into the ASP.NET 2.0 CSS Friendly Control Adapters 1.0, which produce much cleaner markup than the default controls output.

Answer 2

try the gridlines property, set it to none.
