I have a couple questions regarding the DataGridView object...
1) What is the underlying data type that the DataGridView uses if you
are using it unbound and do for instance dgv.Columns.Add (). Is there
any way to access that data type directly, since the DataSource field
is null when the DataGridView is unbound?
2) Is there any way to add a row which does not have as many columns
as the rest of the grid? Basically I have about 10 columns of data
but every so often I want to put an "event" row in the table to show
where an event happened. I pretty much just want that event row to
have 2 columns, one to say the time the event happened and another
with the description of the event. Is this possible in the
DataGridView object, or if not then is it possible in any other native
C# object that I can display in a DataGridView type fashion?
Thanks in advance,
Stu

I am nearly ONLY using unbound grids, but that question never came to my
mind. I usually find that if I _presume_ the underlying datatype to be
of type "string" as long as it is undefined, then I don't have problems.

Maybe a "ListView" control can even do better what you want. If you want
to stick to the DataGridView you can use the CellPaint-Events to
determine which type of row is displayed.
I never touched the borders of cells for such a purpose, but it should
be possible to make the cell-borders of neighbouring cells disappear in
the beforecellpaint event, for each row that is of type "event". This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I've got a couple questions on the new Datagridview control in VS2005.
1) In the old datagrid control at design time I was able to add multiple
tablestyles with columns from different datasources. Then at run time when I
would bind a dataset to the grid it would display the tablestyle associated
with the dataset. How do I do this in VS2005?
2) I do all my databinding to the datagridview at run time, but setup my

Hi All DataGridView Users.
I have noticed that there seems to be very little useful response to
DataGridView questions in this news group. I have looked at the spanish,
belgium, french, italian equivalent CS newsgroups and the situation would
appear to be much the same.
Why this is the case, who knows? But, I have found one link that may be of
help in understanding the innards of DataGridView.

Hi,
I have a DataGridView, bounded to a DataTable which is populated/updated by

already.)
I want to have a worker thread starting to consume data from the DataTable.
Imagine that the DataTable contains a list of tasks. From the C# .NET
specification, DataTable "is safe for multithreaded...

Hi,
I have been encountering a refresh problem with DataGridView, which is bound
to a DataTable.
When I make updates (Add, Delete, update) to the DataGridView, everything
flow nicely to DataTable. No problem here.
However, when I add data (programatically) to the DataTable, the
DataGridView does not refresh right away. If I minimize and show my form,

As your probably aware the datagridview doesn't update it's source
datatable with changes to a cell until you move off that cell. Suppose
somone makes a change in a cell of my datagridview then clicks to go
elsewhere in the program--how can I be assured that change is
transmitted back to the source datatable?

Hello all!
I found a solution to my original question, but there's still so much I don't understand about it, I thought I'd give this forum a try. At the very least, maybe it will help someone else who got stumped like I did.
It seems so simple... binding a DataGridView to a List<T>. These are the two general problems that I kept running into:
(1) When the data in the list updated, the data on the screen did not update.
(2) When I...

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,...
