Edit Items in a WinForm DataGrid control

Hi All!

I would like to make my WinForm DataGrid control so that user could easily
edit the items in the **related table**.

For instance, I have customers table and it has one-to-many relationship
with the customerType table. I would like the WinForm DataGrid to display a
column with "Customer Type" where users can select the type of customer from
a drop down list.

For example, see: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/051904-1.aspx
However, this example is for ASP.NET DataGrid control only.

Can this be done with the WinForm DataGrid?

Many many thanks!

Hi Jon,

It certainly can. As a starting point, you might want to examine this
example:
http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/Da...ostAnythin.asp

If you hunt around you'll find there are other examples of editing datagrids
on CodeProject.

Hope that helps.

Interested in more .NET stuff visit www.dedicatedsolutions.co.uk The DataList is not as powerful as the DataGrid. It requires more work from you since it has no default data presentation format. However, the DataGrid begins to get very cumbersome as the number of columns of data you present increases. Anything more than half a dozen columns or so and you probably induce horizontal scrolling - a real no-no for me. If you put such a...

Hi, I'm building a maintenance form for a table and some of the fields are textboxes (i.e name) and some should be dropdowns (i.e country of origin) When a user clicks 'Edit' in the <asp:EditCommandColumn> I want either a textbox or dropdown to appear when I check what is being edited. I thought I could create the dropdown on the fly and add it to the datagrid as below but It's not appearing. I imagined I could populate the dropdown

We have a client server application where we would like to not show Save and Cancel buttons on a winform until the user has actually entered something into a textbox or combobox etc., and there is something to actually save. This logic is fundamental to the way we would like to do things in general so it is worth our while to get this figured out correctly once and for all. To my mind, what needs to be done is to be able to detect when...

Hello All, I have a webpage that has two dropdown listboxes. Based on what is selected in these dropdown listboxes, it filters a DataGrid . That works fine.

In Page_Load, I added code to filter the DataGrid only when it was Not Page.IsPostBack. Then the editing/updating of the DataGrid data...

My problem is when a user starts to edit one of the values in the grid and does not either press Enter or move of the current cell and presses the Accept buton the current typed value does not get passed into the grid, but stays in the edit mode.
