Datagrid / Dataset question

[Phil Snijder]

Hi there,

I have a form with a Datagrid on it; Datagrid is bound to an untyped dataset.
When I fill the dataset (with an oleDBDataAdapter), the data is not diplayed directly in the grid;
I have to expand some control that appears in the datagrid, and then select the table name
before the data is shown. How can I make this work directly??

Thanks in advance!

Try binding right to the table, instead of the dataset.

You should try :

dataGrid1.SetDataBinding(dataset, "table");

or.....

dataGrid1.DataSource = dataset;
dataGrid1.DataMember = "table";

I should add that, with at lest .NET Framework 1.0, the second approach
should never be used, while the first one is the way to go. The difference
is that the SetDataBinding method appears to perform some inner
initializations on the DataGrid, and these initializations never occur when
the DataSource and the DataMember properties are assigned directly.
