Custom DataGrid properties not getting set

I have a class that I've written that inherits DataGrid. Inside the
constructor I set several properties such as AllowPaging and
AllowSorting to true, which is what I want the default values to be.

In the consumer, which is a web form, I tested changing the properties
to the opposite of their default values. When I run the page, the
values in the consumer are ignored, and only the 'default' values are
recognized. I thought I was perhaps missing something, so I got a copy
of Dino Esposito's code for his SuperGrid. He too sets default values
in his constructor. Again, the same thing happened, so whatever I'm
missing he missed in his code too, apparently.

I have tried many iterations of this, including not using the
constructor and instead using the OnInit, putting the class in a
different project and compiling it separately, putting it in a Web
Control library, etc., etc. Nothin has worked; I still can't modify
the values. As a matter of fact, when I used the Web Custom Control
class structure, everytime I would change the value in the designer,
it would reset to its default value upon building.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I have a custom class that gets its properties dynamically from a database at runtime. Therefore I implemented the ICustomTypeDescriptor in this class and created a a custom PropertyDescriptor. The custom class also inherits from Component and therefore can be dragged on the form in the designer view.

Hi, I found an article that explains how to do the custom sorting. Here is what it says: .... Perhaps you want some custom sorting method to take effect. To do that, DataGrid provides you with an action to overload called "SortCommand." In the properties events for your DataGrid, select the "SortCommand" action and implement it with the method name of your choice... But when I go to the datagrid properties events, there is no action...

I have a web service method that returns an array of custom objects marked serializeable with fully described public properties. When I bind the results to a DataGrid I can access the properties in the ItemDataBound event of the codebehind but I can't access them declaratively in the HTML code? Here is the code to call the method. net.mysite.www.WSInterface proxy; proxy = new net.mysite.www.WSInterface();

Hello everyone, I have created a custom component and one of its properties is a class object with it's own properties. During runtime, I can assign values to the class object properties just fine. However, when attempting to assing default values as designtime in the propertygrid, nothing is working on the class object. I know that I am doing it wrong, any ideas what it is? Thanks in advance

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
