And?
What is the problem?
What have you tried?
Where are you stuck?

Need to know your environment; ASP.NET, WinForms, etc.

MS Access? SQL Server?
or
DataTable? DataRow?

What have you tried so far? What code do you have and why isn't it working? What errors are you getting?

It's really hard to help when you haven't started yet and you haven't provided much information. For example, is this a web project or a windows forms or what?

To create a dynamic table, simply declare it. Then add the columns you want. If you need some basic help to get started, try searching on google[^] for some ideas. If you run into a problem come back here and post your code for more help.

Is this an answer?

How can anyone post a real answer without knowing what kind of program is being written? If the google results help, then it's at least a partial answer.
Hello,
check this link , it will be most helpful for creating such program.

DataGridView MSDN Library[^]

If you still need help look at this simple windows form program in C#, that I have made. It consists of one Form with one DataGridView table with two buttons for adding new row with new cell values taken from text boxes ,and one button for deleting last row in the DataGridView.

C#
/*

 * 
 * Application for transfering values from text box to DataGridView table

			LastRow = dataGridView1.Rows.Count - 2;
			
			if (LastRow > -1)
			{
				dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(LastRow);
			}
		}
		
		void SetInitialValues()
		{
			//
