I have a DataGridView bound to a collection of Custom Objects. I have
enabled adding new rows, but since my object does not have a public
constructor (it uses a factory method), I get an error when I attempt to
enter the new row. My guess is that I need to override some method so that I
can create the object for the grid. But for the life of me, and I can't find
it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Terry,
Have you tried just inserting a new row into the data source of the
DataGridView object?

Hi,
No, I haven't. Are you suggesting that I pre-create a new object and
have it in the grid just in case the user wants to add one? I suppose that
that could be made to work. I still have to believe that there is some
method that I can override or some event I can subscribe to, that would allow
me to create the object for the grid.

Terry,
No what you want to do do is inefficient... when they add a new "row" as it
were you create a new datadow and add that data row to the datasource which
is a DataTable (sucking it from my head now so could be wrong on the type).
Then when they close/save then you save and add the new row as per normal to
your DB... Why don't you look into the BindingManager and BindingSource also
:) it will help and might make you rethink things slightly.

Ok, turned out to be fairly easy - once I figured out where to do it!
The grid is bound to a bindingsource which raises a 'AddingNew' event. So
the code looks like...
Private Sub LogListBindingS ource_AddingNew (ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e
As System.Componen tModel.AddingNe wEventArgs) Handles
LogListBindingS ource.AddingNew
e.NewObject = Log.Create(Id)
End Sub

I was running into a problem with the DataGridView while binding it to an
object Collection. I got it working and I thought others might like to know
how.
-------------- Problem -------------
The grid was bound to a simple object collection. The object contained
string and decimal properties, nothing to fancy. When an item was added to
the collection I would databind as follows (this happened on each item

Hi All DataGridView Users.
I have noticed that there seems to be very little useful response to
DataGridView questions in this news group. I have looked at the spanish,

appear to be much the same.
Why this is the case, who knows? But, I have found one link that may be of
help in understanding the innards of DataGridView.

I have a datagridview that is bound to a cutom collection.
The classes contained in the custom collection have the properties that are
bound to the class . This works fine !
But if one of the properites exposes another object I would like to bind a
property of the sub object to the DataPropertyName this does not seem to
work.
eg main object customer
has a property called Address which is a contained object
inside object Address there...

VS2005 and I have a DataTable displayed in a DataGridView that needs custom

Then I found this in the docs "This event occurs only when the DataSource
property is not set and the VirtualMode property value is false"
This seems really odd but may be true. I can't see what the purpose of this

Hello:
I am binding a DataGridView with a BindingList<T>, where T is a custom
business object that implements INotifyPropertyChanged.
When you bind a DataGridView to a DataTable, it has this cool little
feature - it will not call DataTable.Rows.Add until after you leave
the DataGridView row. This is cool because it lets your user edit the
record as much as needed to get it into a valid state before actually
adding it to the DataTable.

I'm trying to make a datagridview column to act like a datetimepicker column (C#.Net 2005). These are the behaviours that the dgv should have:
1) Initially all the cells of the dtp column should be blank unless they are filled by the user.
2) As soon as the user enters a cell, the dtp control should appear as the editing control of that cell. If there's a value in the cell beforehand, that value is set as the value of the dtp editing control...
