Freezing columns in a gridview

I'm trying to programmatically freeze columns in an ASP.Net gridview control with Visual Basic.

My code is taken from the msdn knowledge base at:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/28e9w2e1(v=vs.90).aspx

The code is:

mydatagridview.columns("manufacturer").frozen = true

The gridview has been bound with a data which is automatically generated from a data field "manufacturer".

However, I get the error message:

'Frozen' is not a member of 'System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataControlField'.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to correct this?

Unfortunately these solutions are for a complex javascript solution whereas the .Net Framework 4.5 already has the solution in the form of the '.frozen' property of the GridView Column, I just can't get it to work.

I've checked that IIS is running v4.5 - it shows v4 when the page fails to compile, but I understand that's normal, for some reason IIS error messages show v4 even if v4.5 is being used.

I think I can answer my own question here - the datagridview is a windows form control, not a GridView. Doh! Too much late night coding.
