I have a collection of custom objects that I am displaying in a Windows
Forms Datagrid. To display it, I take the collection and build a DataTable
object on the fly, then set the grid's DataSource to the DataTable. The
code for this is lengthy and the grid is obviously not editable. I've read
it's possible to connect my collection directly, and have it be editable,
too. Can anyone point me to a resource that can walk me through this?
TIA

Hi,
If you set the datagrids datasource to the collection any properties
in your custom class will be displayed in the datagrid. If you are adding a
tablestyle to the datagrid use collection as the mapping name.

I've tried a few times to just set the datagrid's datasource to my
collection but all I get is a blank datagrid. I know the collection is
full of data; what am I missing?

Maybe you also need to set the data member to the data table?

Sorry, I was thinking of datasets not collections.
Does your custom object class have a Get property (such as 'Name') to be
displayed in the datagrid?

No, I didn't get that complicated with it. It's little more than about 20
"fields". Do I need to set a Default Get property or something?

Michael Kellogg
That is how I did it. If your object has Get properties, the datagrid will
display them. There should be one property for each field to be displayed
in the datagrid.
For example, if the widget class has a public WidgetName property which
returns the widget name, there will be a WidgetName column in the datagrid.
It will display the name property for each widget entered into the Widget
collection which is the data source for the datagrid. If there is no Get
property function, the datagrid has nothing to display.

Well I figured that since all my member variables were Public, that would
take care of that. I will experiment with a GET and see what happens.

Hi,
I have a custom collection class i wrote, LineItemsCollection, which is a
strongly typed collection of objects of my LineItem class.
The LineItem class is a simple class with just a couple properties, ProdID,
Description, Quantity and UPC. 3 strings and a long.
The LineItemsCollection class inherits from
System.Collections.Specialized.NameObjectCollectionBase.
It also implements both IEnumerable and IList.
