Constantly Updating List ... DataGridView or ListView

Hi All,

I want to bind a datagridview or ListView to a List that is constantly
being updated (items are added/removed all the time).

Any ideas what the best way is to do this? I tried binding the collection
directly to the grid but occasionally I'll get cross thread errors
(different threads updating the collection).

Is there a way to get a live view of an array/list easily?

Thanks!

I've never done it but I understand that you can overload a method in
a .NET class. So you should be able to write your own .Add method for
the List. In your .Add method, invoke the standard.Add method to add
the item, and then re-populate the form control(s).

Yes, but if the .add is called from a different thread, you'll get a cross
thread error.

Also I don't have access to the DataGridView from inside the collection.

Hi, I've got a number of objects that each have it's own thread. When the value changes I raise an event. Now, I want to handle the event in a form and show the value in a listview.

Should I use it as well? It's not the...

I'm trying to add a datagridview control to a Windows Form to display read-only information in visual basic 2005. My understanding is that datareader will be faster for this purpose.

If DataReader cannot be bound directly to DataGridView, how can I load a DataReader into a DataTable and bind the DataTable to DataGridView? Can the DataTable be a...

Hi, I have just started building an application which is windows form based, rather than web based, and I am having troubles with layout. I can't find any control which gives me just a simple text list! There is ListView, but that gives me very strange spacing, perhaps because it is trying to put in icons? There are Flow and Table layout panels, but those also give me strange spacing. I just want the Windows Form Equivalent of an HTML...

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,...
