  Hi,

  Thanks for your question. This is actually one that is in the FAQs:

  Q. Can I define my columns in Ajax loaded JSON?

  The reason you can't currently do that using DataTables' configuration options is that JSON doesn't support Javascript functions, and thus you wouldn't be able to make use of all of the features of DataTables. Having said that, if you are happy with that fact, its just an extra line to use $.ajax to get the information from the server!

  The method that the FAQ describes is exactly how you would do it:

  $.ajax( {
    url: ...
    success: function ( json ) {
      $('#myTable').DataTable( {
        columns: json.columns,
        data: json.data
       } );
    }
  } );
  

  Is there a dll file in asp lib ?

  The dll provided in the Editor .NET download is CLR, so it would work in ASP as well as the C# that it was originally written in.
