DataGrid, Windows - Does not refresh. data is in the rows but they are not visible, the rows are solid blue

[Richard]

If the grid is dragged off the screen and back on the data is visible. Tried
a dg.refresh() and Inactivate(). Can I do this by overriding custom base
class OnPaint that my form inherits from? I don't thin it is the backcolor
or something like that because the error does not occur on everyone's
workstation. Could be it be the video card or tied to memory.

Also when I get the error at the office computer if I remote connect to that
computer from home the error does not occur. I was going to try creating a
second grid and populating it with a new datatable which would be a copy of
the other grid's datatable. It seems there would be a lot of things to try.

Richard,

I am sorry, I have not the idea that I completely understand you. Please
tell first the problem, before you start with suggesting all kind of
solutions.

It can be the famous mcAfee 8.0 problem, however tell first something more
about the problem (without solutions).

By instance is your datagrid normally on your form, now I get the idea that
the user can drag that to somewhere, what is not a kind of standard
application.

I hope this helps something to come to a solution.

Looking at the computer screen there is a c#.net windows form. It has a few
text boxes and a datagrid, all controls are always visible. When the
datagrid is filled with data, the data is actually in the grid and
underlying data table however the rows are solid blue (see XXXX's below) so
you can't see what is in the rows.

If you click on the title bar of the entire form and drag the entire form so
that half of it is off the desktop, leaving the other half on the desktop,
and then drag that half that was off the desktop back to it's original
position whatever was dragged off the desktip is now visible. For example
here is a sample:

Window:

-----------My .net Window Form-------------
Name: _______ Address _______
Title ________ Age: __________

My Grid
John Smith 123 Main Street NY, NY 10011
Harry Jones 544 Santa Monica Blvd. LA, CA 10210
Mary Bond 678 Avenue A NY, NY 19975
------------------------------------------------

The three rows of the grid cannot be seen. They appear as such?

-----------My .net Window Form-------------
Name: _______ Address _______
Title ________ Age: __________

My Grid
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
------------------------------------------------

Where X is a solid blue color:

Now if you drag the grid left halfway off the desktop so it looks like this:

y .net Window Form-------------
Address _______
Age: __________

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXX
-----------------------------------

Then you drag it back to it's original location you see this:

-----------My .net Window Form-------------
Name: _______ Address _______
Title ________ Age: __________

My Grid
John Smith 123 Main XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XX
Harry Jones 544 SantXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
Mary Bond 678 AvenXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXX
------------------------------------------------

Note: the dragged off and back on portion of the grid becomes visible

Richard,

Are you the guy from this thread, who never answered again?

A little bit senseless to take time in problems if you are not answering or
look at those.

[Richard]

I think so. I'll look at it.

I set the BackColor, bind to datatable and refresh. The BackColor looked OK
in a breakpoint. I don't think it is the backcolor but will test it again.

It does not happen when I remote connect to the workstation from home.

I read the google site. It was me. Sorry about getting back to you but I'm
working on a major software development project for a major financial
institution on Wall St. It was not a high priority but is now. I have good
news though, I just saved 10% on my car insurance :) OK, so it's a wonderful
day. I was thinking of using a second grid as a test, also override OnPaint,
etc. Seems like a lot of possibilities.

Richard,

In every situation when your program is doing something is situation A
however not in situation B, than it has to do with the Operating System (and
all what is around it as framework and drivers) or/and the hardware.

It is than seldom a language or program problem.

I hope this helps,

Cor
