DataGridViewCom boBox


I have bound a dgvcombobox to a datasource/table/column value set. I would
like to be able to include a NULL value in the pick list the combo box
shows, but it seems that once I've clicked in the combo box, there's no way
to assign a NULL value in the DataGridView for that column.

Why don't you insert the Null to the datasource/table/column before
binding it?

Don't think that solves the issue:

If you populate the datasource with a select, you can insert the Null value
using an union. For example

SELECT
null AS CustomerID,
'(none)' AS CustumerName
FROM
Customers
UNION
SELECT
CustomerID,
CustomerName
FROM
Customers;

I'll give it a try. I was just hoping there was a "AllowNull" setting on the
control that would allow it to work without me having to do that :)

This works nicely, thanks.

I have a datagridview with two comboboxcolumns. I want the combobox in column B to be dynamically filled with data from the database depending on which item is selected in column A. How do I go about this? Thanks for your help. I am not a novice, but I am certainly not a master. Andy

One textbox, one combobox. The textbox column is going to be coming from a database (actually I could manually create it if i had to). It makes about 20 rows, each with a unique value for the textbox column. The available choices for the combobox row are coming from a...
