DataView vs. DataGridView

ewingate

What is the real difference between the DataView and the DataGridView?
Is the DataView even a control or is it merely a class? With methods
that allow you to edit rows and columns it seems like it would be a
control that you could drag and drop on a form in the designer but I
cannot find the DataView control in the toolbox. I have used a
DataGridView before but I was wondering if DataView has better
functionality.
Thanks!

DataView is not a control. It is a type that is used to perform
filtering on a DataTable without actually changing the data in the data
table. This way, you can separate the data from the presentation of the
data (in this case, presentation meaning a view on the data, where it is
sorted, or filtered).

The DataGridView is a control that allows you to view tabular data, from
a DataTable, or other sources.

It just so happens that the naming is similar.

Editing a DataGridView bound to a DataView

by: ME | last post by:

I have an application that displays data in a DataGridView. The data is in a DataView that is sorted and at times filtered.

However when the user toggles the row value for this column (and others as well) in the DataGridView and ends the edit the data in the dataview changes, causing...

Updating dataview when changing dataset

I have a datagridview bound to a dataview of a typed dataset. The binding is accomplished with a bindingsource object. When I programatically modify one of the datarows in the datatable of the underlying dataset, I want the datagridview to reflect the changes in the datarow. However, I am not able to make this happen. Which object should I refresh, dataset, dataview, or datagridview? And how is this done? My implementation is in VB2008,...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
