Column headers showing as it is in the table in DataGridView

8 New Member
Hi

I already bind a DataGridView to a databse. My DataGridView is showing column names as it is in the table. I want to show user-friendly column names in the grid instead of column names in the database table. Please help me in this reagard. Thanx in advance

In design mode, click the smart menu link and choose properties. In the window that pops up, you can edit each of the column's header, binding, data, whatever you like.

You can also develop an Item Template that is used to configure how your DataGridView is displayed. To create one of these you will need to create a class that implements the ITemplate Interface.

How can I set a bound DataGridView control to use a dataset table's column captions, instead of column names? I'm working with a DataGridView control, which I have bound to a table in a dataset. The dataset is created at run time, so I don't know column headers in advance. The table's column captions are set at run time, using the DataColumn.Caption property. The table is bound to the grid using the grid's DataSource property. Here is my...

I have two related tables I wish to use in a grid. The second table has to drive the list of items apart of a combo box apart of one of the grids columns. Table 1 schema has columns ( . . . . "Department" . . . ) and needs to populate the entire grid. Table 2 schema had one column ("Department") and needs to populate a combo box attached to one column of the grid. I attempted to configure this using the DataGridView wizard but I wasn't...

When I scroll horizontally in the datagridview control and reach this GUID column (which is not at the end of the table) it raises the datagridview dataError event. ...

I have been searching all over the web for a way to sort a DataGridView based on the actual text being shown in a ComboBox column as opposed to the underlying value (an ID in this case). Can anyone tell me if this is even possible, and if so, how to do it? If this is completely impossible, how would you suggest going about sorting a ComboBox wherein the text displayed in the column is the client's name, and the underlying value is an ID? ...

Dear group, I'm currrently investigating a bug within a piece of our software whereby if a DataGridView (bound directly to a DataTable) is ordered by column headers (containing lookup combo boxes where the value is the foreign key of another table), although the DataGridView is ok, the DataTable becomes out of sync. In other words, I have a Grid of customers, and if a customer name column header is clicked - the data moves in the...

I'm having an issue that I can't seem to find a solution to online...so I'm hopeful that someone here has the solution for me. _The Problem I'm using a DataGridView control to display information from a table. However, the table I'm showing also displays an ID that is used to link to another table. For instance, "BookID" in Table A ("TheLibrary") is used to link to Table B ("TheBooks") which has details about a given book with that ID. ...

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