I feel like this question has been asked before, but I couldn't find it.
I think I am missing something obvious.
Basically I am going to have a DataGridView with two columns. One textbox, one combobox.
The textbox column is going to be coming from a database (actually I could manually create it if i had to). It makes about 20 rows, each with a unique value for the textbox column.
The available choices for the combobox row are coming from a list (I apply it as a datasource currently, it might be better if I manually add the items?)
So for each entry, you can pick a value from a combox, pretty simple, that part works.
Now what I want is, based on some criteria, that a certain value in the combobox field be "selected" by start, instead of an empty box.
I am roughly going to take a particular string, and if its a choice in the combobox, select it. If it is NOT a choice, select the first item in the combobox.
I cannot seem to set the combobox value. With a regular combobox, there is a .Contains on the items (items is always empty when using a datasource) and then is has a .SelectedItem property. The Selected whatever properties aren't on thse DataGridViewCom boBox cells.
I have tried just setting the .Value property of the cell, which correctly triggers the DataError event if it's not a choice, but then the value cannot be re-set based on that?
EDIT: I attached a picture of desired output. I can correctly set the values (using the Items.Contains( )) now, but it only actually sets the value if I have "looked" at the DataGridView first (its on another tab)

What I ended up doing was putting it all on the main tab...and hoping it doesn't cause anymore issues

Hi,
I would like to format certain DataRows in a Windows.Forms.DataGrid.
I know how to do that for the columns, but I cannot find a way to assign a specific font, color etc. to a specific kind of DataRows. I have 4 different kinds identified by a type value and would like to show the Rows with different styles
For Example:
All Rows of type 1 should be in bold
All Rows of type 2 should be in italics and grey

I'm trying to change a value of a cell based on another before the grid is
displayed. I'm using the ItemDataBound event like this for a simple test:
Select Case e.Item.ItemType
Case ListItemType.Item, ListItemType.AlternatingItem
If e.Item.Cells(7).Text = String.Empty Then
e.Item.Cells(7).Text = "hello"
End If
End Select

Hi,
I have a GridView with five columns. One of the column renders its content
either as a FileUpload or TextBox - depending on a value in another cell. I
created an EditItemTemplate for the column and placed both controls in it.
The controls' Visible property is initially set to false for both of them.
Based on a value of another field I'd like to be able to set Visible
property to true for one of the controls.
Could someone please...

I understand that the Value put into a DataGridViewComboBoxCell has to be a
member of the Items list or an exception is thrown.
I also understand that you can override that exception by handling the
DataError event and just doing nothing in the circumstance that caused the
error.
Here's my situation: I would like to allow the user to EITHER select an item
from the ComboBox (in a DataGridView) OR type in a new value of their own.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
