DataGridView

[shehezada]

Hi there,
I have a DataGridView on a Windows Form. The form load event looks like this
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
MyCollection mycoll=new MyCollection();
dataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
BindingSource bs = new BindingSource();
bs.DataSource = mycoll.GetRecords(1);
dataGridView1.DataSource = bs;
}

Here, data from a Collection object (MyCollection) is being stored in a BindingSource. From the BindingSource it is than passed on to the DataGridView. On debugging, all three (the collection object, the BindingSource and the DataGridView) show that they have the values. But after running the application, the DataGridView doesn't display the values.
Kindly tell me a solution for this.
P.S.: GetRecords() is my function which returns a collection. dataGridView1 on the form is totally blank with no columns and no rows.
Thanks in advance

I think you have missed the DataBind() method

DataGridView control doesn't have a DataBind() method.

MyCollection mycoll=new MyCollection();
dataGridView1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
dataGridView1.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
BindingSource bs = new BindingSource();
bs.DataSource = mycoll.GetRecords(1);
 
DataSet Ds;
Ds = new DataSet();
 
DataTable DT;
DT = new DataTable();
 
Ds.Tables.Add(DT);
Ds.Load(bs, LoadOption.PreserveChanges, Ds.Tables[0]);
 
 
dataGridView1.DataSource = Ds.Tables[0];
}

Hi vksingh24,
thanks for the help.

I tried it out by your way. There were three errors at compile time on the following line:

Ds.Load(bs, LoadOption.PreserveChanges, Ds.Tables[0]);

Errors:
1. The best overloaded method match for 'System.Data.DataSet.Load(System.Data.IDataReader, System.Data.LoadOption, System.Data.FillErrorEventHandler, params System.Data.DataTable[])' has some invalid arguments.

2. Argument '1': cannot convert from 'object' to 'System.Data.IDataReader'.

3. Argument '3': cannot convert from 'System.Data.DataTable' to 'System.Data.FillErrorEventHandler'.
