.net - Binding A Collection Of Objects To A ComboboxColumn In A DataGridView?
Jan 24, 2012
I have a GUI which allows the user to select a report to view/edit. When the user selects a report, it shows the Items in the report. The Item has many properties - most of which are binding properly. One of the properties is Owner, and this is bound to a ComboBoxColumn.
Report
Items
Owner
I have done something very similar to this a few times and had no problems when I set the DataPropertyName, DataSource, ValueMember, and DisplayMember. The only difference is that this time instead of the Item type having an OwnderID it actually has an instance of the Owner object.giving the items bound in the list a self-referencing property that allows them to return themselves for the purposes of setting the ValueMember.However, When I bind it this way:
OwnerColumn.DataPropertyName = "Owner"
OwnerColumn.DataSource = ownersBindingSource1
OwnerColumn.ValueMember = "Self"
OwnerColumn.DisplayMember = "OwnerName"
I get a lot of errors like: Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'Owner'.
and:
The following exception occurred in the DataGridView:
System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid.To replace this default dialog please handle the DataError event.I was able to get around some of these errors by binding it like this:
OwnerColumn.DataPropertyName = "Owner"
OwnerColumn.DataSource = ownersBindingSource1
and also by making the ToString function on the Owner display the OwnerName property. This seems pretty hacky though - and I think I'm misunderstanding something fundamental as it still does not function properly.

I've bound a collection with public properties that are of type double to a datagridview control. If, in the datagrid, the user enters a value that is a string I get an error thrown, and I can't seem to find the method to handle it.
The only way I've been able to fix this is to make all public items in my bound collection of type string, and in the get/set make the private variables double.
This is a huge pain; is there any way to do this in a more elegant fashion?
2nd question is there a way to make the default header text something other than the public property name? (I know I can manually change this in the code later, I was wondering if there was a way to automatically have it something else)
(below is example code; I've changed the P property to reflect that change I had to make)
Public Class clsPIDElement
Private _P As Double
Private _I As Double

I am attempting to bind objects pulled from an NHibernate session to a DataGridView and am having problems.I have a single session in which I fetch all of my "look-up" items that are bound to a combobox column, and then I query for the objects themselves. omehow, this still results in proxy child objects on the main objects. I have even changed the mapping of the look-up items to eager fetch, but I still get proxies somehow.Here is how I am fetching the objects:
Dim _makes As IList(Of Make) = session.QueryOver(Of Make).List
Dim _models As IList(Of Model) = session.QueryOver(Of Model).List
Dim _cars as IList(of Car) = session.QueryOver(of Car).List

I am populating a DataGridView from a DataTable with a DataAdapter (VB 2008 Express, SQL 2008 Express). The dgv is for editing (with SqlCommandBuilder) a SQL table. I have added a ComboBoxColumn ("Type"), with a list, and removed the column from dgv ("Reason") who's index it replaces. What I can't figure out is the binding(?) to have the selected text displayed the same value as that from SQL table that is being edited. The ComboBox displays an index of -1, I need the selected text to be the data from row and field which is to be edited. The list is constant. Code so far is below:
Public Sub LoadDgvComps()
Dim myDA As SqlDataAdapter
Dim dsComps As DataSet[code]......

I have a databound combo box column. When a value in another field starts with an 8, I want to make the combo box read-only and turn the background gray so the user knows it is read-only.
Here is the code I'm using, where am I going wrong? It doesn't change the backcolor to gray.
Private Sub dgvTest_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles dgvTest.CellFormatting

i am using a Datagridview on my form. It get's it's datasource from a dataset: grd.datasource=set_temp After that I add ComboboxColumns manually. At the end I loop columns and set values into that cells from the comboboxcolumns. Works perfect so far. Now I click on a header and the sorting is changed, and then the cells from the comboboxcolumns all lose their values, they are all empty.
Why and what do I do to avoid that? Or must i refill those manual Values after sorting?

I have a child form in an MDI application with a datagridview comboboxcolumn. I'm filling it with string values. When I load the form independently of the parent, I am able to set values for the comboboxcells. But when the form is loaded as part of the MDi application, with the same exact code, the cells are empty.

With the two lists (t1s and t2s), I want to display t1s in a DataGridView, and in one column show the T2 property as a comboBox column, which dropdown will show the t2s list such that a new list instance can be selected. T2 has a Name property that should be used for displaying it in the comboBoxColumn.
I'm able to display the dropdown, but remaining a few problems:
1. How to display the correct comboBox "selection" on "load"?
2. How to change the T2 child object instance when combobox selection is made?
3. This is a really basic problem, which suddenly happened and I just couldn't understand what I have changed; The code marked BLUE now just shows empty cells.. While the AutoGenerated columns do show values.. Shouldn't those "manual" columns work?

I have a comboboxcolumn in a DataGridView. I have loaded int with string data that appears in the dropdown box. I have added an event to it for an SelectedIndexChanged. What I am trying to do is autosize the width of the cell in the column based on the string chosen in the drop-down box within this SelectedIndexChanged event. This seems to work but it does not work off the initial selection change. When I select the desired string in the dropdown box the width of the cell does not autosize. I am not sure why.
I was trying to get around this by wrapping an IF stmt around the autosize logic by saying if cell value = "" then cell.width = Max Width of all loaded strings/ However, I can't figure out how to access the string array loaded into the dropdown list

I am using VB 2005 professional and SQL Server 2005 express edition.
For the last two weeks I have been trying to have a datagridview control on a form that will have datasource from a dataset with two tables that are related. I want child the column to be a ComboBoxColumn where userts can select options and update the other data(from the other table).
I have two tables in an sql server 2005 database named computers:-
computers
locations
Table computers looks like thisID is the primary key column)
ID Location
Computer139
Computer240
[Code].....
With the location column being a ComboBoxColumn so that when a user enters a new ID say Computer5,they have a choice of a dropdownmenu for the Location column. In the database table computers the item should be saved as well as the index value(to correspond to the LocationID).

easy way to simply load the data from database into a datagridview with one of the columns being a comboboxcolumn. Apparently there is no selectedvalue, selectedindex or value as in a combobox to return the combobox value. What I need is to verify if the database value is 'true' and if it is then I need to set the comboboxcolumn with a specific value.
Ex:
if ds.tables(0).rows(0)("flag") = "true" then
datagridcolumn.selectedvalue = 1
else
datagridcolumn.selectedvalue = 0
end if

I'm pretty new to VB.Net programming, but have already been able to figure out many things using this forum, but also via the many other forums on the internet.I'm currently stuck with a question though regarding getting the clicked value in a datagridview comboboxcolumn.When I use _Selected IndexChanged and then check the current cells value, what I get is the value before I clicked the new one in the comboboxcolumn.When I use _CellEditFinished, I can get the new value, but only after I selected another cell, or changed focus to another object.How do I get the new value from a DataGridViews ComboBoxColumn the moment I clicked it in the pulldown menu from the ComboBoxColumn?

I was wondering if its possible to bind a datagrid column to a list (Of T) thats stored within an observable collection!
Here's my current code:
Dim _BindWithThis As New List(Of BindWithThis)
Me.DataContext = _BindWithThis
For i = 0 To 3
[Code]....
This currently displays four rows of "(Collection)". Is it possible to step into one of these "Collection" rows and display the data? I know that this is possible to do with a list box by binding with a specific element in the collection:
ListBox1.ItemsSource = _BindWithThis.Item(0).DataValue
I just can't work out how to do this with a datagrid...

I'm trying to create a collection of variable binding in a class.It is intended to look something like this:
Dim x as integer, s as string
Dim c as new VBindClass
x = 1
s = "Hello"
[code]....
Is there some function that allow us to retrieve a unique ID for a given variable and also get/set based on variable?
Update:At last, I've managed to found the answer. Here's the code:
Dim gh As Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle = Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle.Alloc(obj)
Return Runtime.InteropServices.GCHandle.ToIntPtr(gh).ToInt64

My problem is similar to the one described in this article, but I'm trying to use a different grid(DevExpress.xtraGrid) and therefore the answer (if it even works) does not apply for me: Binding Collection to DataGrid without showing all columns
Briefly, I'm binding the grid to the collection of custom objects - cMessage - to grid's datasource, but I don't want all the propertieties of the cMessage to be shown in the grid. Is there any way to hide some properties from the binding, while leaving them acessible from outside (ie.leave them as public or friend)?

we have 3 classes:Class S, class A, class B / A and B inherits S.A has a property A1 and B has a property B1.we also have a collection of objects that has A and B objects.ex.
Dim c as Collection = new Collection
c.add(new A)
c.add(new B)
Now we want to make a general object that will read from the collection.
ex .
Dim obj as S
how can we cast obj in order to see properties A1 or B1 according to the class;

i've researched and written a generic class (all my objects are the same structure) and i'm was just working on the collection using a hash table but i've just read a comment within (url...) in this forum...that we shouldn't use hashtables at all with vs2008.i actually need and object collection that contains other object collections within them.the application i'm trying to write is relatively simple (but i'm new to vb.net)it keeps track of the time for weight lifting training/workouts.a workout consists of 'say' a bench press, military press, curls, dead lift, etc within the "bench" you have 1,2, or 3 sets (how many times you do "the bench", within a set you have 1,2,3 or 4 lifters, each lifter does reps.then it starts over with military press..i guess i could base it on a treeview type structure (with parent child type relationships) but i usually think in terms of collections it appears that a collectionbase has no key and i'd have to keep track of them on my own...

I tried ths:
Dim results = From item In bloops _

I'm currently working on binding an objects properties to fields on a Form. Whilst I have managed to get it so that I can get standard objects to bind, I am having a problem figuring out how I would go about binding an inherited object.
For example, if I had a Client class (the parent class) and then two sub-classes called CompanyClient and IndividualClient. The CompanyClient would have an extra field company name for example.The problem I'm having is that I'm not certain how to set up the binding, as if I set up the binding against the Client class then I would be missing the Company Name property for the CompanyClient, if I set up against the CompanyClient, then it wouldn't work with the IndividualClient as it doesn't have all the fields.
I know I could get around this by having different forms for each of the different Client types, but as almost all of the properties are the same I would like to avoid this if I can.I was wondering whether anyone knows how I might be able to go about doing this

VS2008 targeting .Net 3.5x. I have a combobox with a datasource and display member set, and when I run the project, I see the items. I am also binding the selected item to another object which contains the item upon which I want to select. I have verified that both the bound object and its underlying data contain the value I expect. The problem is that I cannot get it to select the correct item - it only ever selects the first item in the list.

Form1:

Function SetMyObject(ByVal frmTarget As Object)
frmTarget.PictureBox1 = Form1.PictureBox1
End Function
(Not tested code, just wrote to show what I mean)So that's the late binding one.I should also say that the frmTarget variable isn't static so thats why I can't make something like Form2.PictureBox1 = Form1.PictureBox1

I'm implementing a customized Graph algorithm in vb.net, and I'm having the following problem:
Supose the code:
dim col as new collection
dim myC as new system.collections.genericList(of myClass)
dim obj1 as new myClass
dim obj2 as new myClass
[code].....
'In the next statement, the myC2 inside col collection will be decreased to contain 'only obj1, like myC. I supose this is for myC and myC2 contains only a pointer to 'objects obj1 and obj2 as well col contains pointers to myC and myC2 myC.remove(obj2)'The problem is that I have to only copy myC to myC2, like a ByVal argument in a function,'instead a ByRef argument, in order to mantain a copy of objects in myC2 while these 'objects should be removed from myC. How should I do it?
