Which control is better a gridBrowser + Datagrid sort feature

Hi!

Windows of the application IO have to built (my first one in vb.Net) is made
from 2 part:

a) A grid wich will be used only to display the main information of the
current record (so the grid must select the entire row and not allow
editing). I have selected the datagrid so far and succed after many
research to allow only entire row selection with this help
http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/WinFor...c44c.asp#q792q

b) Other controls that will be used to edit the other fields of the select
record. It could have as many controls in the top part of the windows as
there is field in the record.

1) I just would like to hear about pleople who knows what whould be best
between DATAGRID, LISTVIEW AND REPEATER... other choice?

2) I had a hard time to do what I excaly want to do with this DATAGRID!
Another big problem I have is that the datagrid sort by itself - nice
feature... but I would like to keep the same current selected row after the
sort!

Any idea will be appreciate !

Thank you,

JC

Hi Jean-Claud,

If you are not editing direct in the datagrid, does the listview look in my
opinion much nicer.
But you cannot bind it like the datagrid.

They both are not easy to fill, to sort and to set columnwide but.

The sort from the listview is very easy to set off, it is standard, sorting
column by column with the listview needs an extra seperated self written
class (but available in MSDN)

Just my thoughts,

Cor

How do I enable my Windows Forms datagrid to sort when I click on the column header? I have a collection of custom classes that are displayed in my datagrid, and it works great except for this missing feature! AllowSorting property is set to True, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Thanks, Jon

I have been looking and looking but can't seem to find out how to get the row selected in a web control datagrid (NOT a web form datagrid!!!), and how to highlight the selected row. I'm sure this question comes up all the time but I can't find the solution(s) anywhere. From what I understand, the web control datagrid doesn't have any row selected or row highlighting capabilities. What kind of hack am I going to have to put into place?...

The DataGrid allows you to make columns visible or invisible on demand - even edit and other special columns. This article will show you how it is done. Some developers have reported problems controlling the visibility of columns in the DataGrid control. The problem usually comes down to one fact. The DataGrid has a property called AutoGenerateColumns. The default value is "True". This means that when AutoGenerateColumns is set to True,...

The program was written by a different developer who never finished it. Basically, it is a front-end to an Access database that probably should have been done in Access itself. My question concerns the DataGrid control. This control is used on about 30 different forms. The user wants to be able to sort the data in a grid by clicking a column header. The AllowSorting property is turned off on every grid in the project. I thought the fix...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
