I have a datagrid that I am unable to change the width setting, it always reverts back to the original setting.
To change this setting:
1. select the datagrid view tasks
2. Edit columns bound column properties
3. Select Width property
4. Width property will always revert back to the original setting.
I have check the properties settings without any luck.
I am working on a bound DataGrid that displays data from a database. I'm using Silverlight 5 if that helps. Currently all the data is stored in a Dictionary within the my entity object. Using the Property[Key] syntax for the binding path binds properly for display purposes. But the column acts like it is readonly when trying to change a column value in runtime.

Public Property Attributes As New Dictionary(Of String, Object)

My only thought right now is to store the column values in ordered lists and display them using an index rather than key. But I would really like to know why the key isn't working.
Still experimenting with datagrids and ran into another problem...I'd like to sort a column displayed in a datagrid bound to an Access table programmatically. The field is a date ime type and is sorted in descending order in Access. I can manually sort it at run time but i'd like to know how to sort it with code.

I've been able to add my own non-bound columns to a DATAGRIDVIEW - such as a check box column.But I'm not seeing how to take a bound column and make that column be a combobox. Doesn't appear to allow that.Do I have to hide the real column and add a "fake" front-end column that I make a combobox?

I have a datagrid that I am populating from an Access 2000 query in Visual Basic 2008.
This code works fine:
With dgvCollections
.Columns(0).Visible = False
.Columns(1).Width = 235
.Columns(2).Width = 230
.Columns(3).Width = 220
.Columns(4).Width = 70
.Columns(4).HeaderText = "Loan"
End With
The query works fine, except that I want to change the alignment for one of the columns. I tried to add this line before the "End With":
.Columns(4).DefaultCellStyle.Alignment.MiddleCenter()
Which causes the error:
"Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated."
And this error:
"Expression is not a method."
It seems that on clicking datagridview column header, the column will be automatically sorted based on the column type. I have a column showing some numbers. If column type is string, it sorts "1","20","3" into "1","20","3". If column type is double, it sorts into "1","3","20" which is the result that I want. However, there might be some erros in the numbers and error messages(text) will show in the cell instead of numbers. So I cannot set the column type as double. I want to ignore these error messages and sort all the numbers. How can I do this?
Also, I need to add some background colors to different rows in datagridview. So in the column header click event, I call the bkgColor Sub to achieve this. My question is that how can I override the sorting method in this event?

VB GridView control will not allow code in the vb code file to access a data column that has its visible property set to false. When it is set to true, the data column can be accessed with no problem. Any suggestions as to how to correct this? I have looked through the documentation, text books, and I have not found anything that gave me any clue as to what the problem could be. I thought that the property was just applied to the column, not that it would remove the column from being accessible.

View 4 RepliesI am trying to change the datagrid cellstyle alignment of a column in the designer. I set it to middle right but then I run it and it still aligned to the left. I have a lot of datagrids in my application but there are few that doesn't accept any alignment settings which I don't understand at all, can't see any reason, I been looking through the options if there is anything but can't find anything. I just need one column of cells to be aligned to the right whatever I do all of the columns are aligned left and there is an option in the defaultcellstyle that is sat to middle left, but when I try to change it to Not Set it doesn't change.

View 27 RepliesI am populating a datagridview from a datatable and that is working fine. I wish to add some calculated columns from data in the datatable. At first, I did this by adding these to the table, but that makes it difficult to update the Access database. These lines are commented out.Right now, AWt and DOF are not working. The values are there when I step through (lines 85-87), but the values are not put in the grid.

I need to display an two-column editable grid not bound to a database. I took a look at ListView with Mode=Details, but it appears that only cells in the first column can be edited. I then took a look at DataGridView, and am having two issues:
1. When editing a cell, it adds a new row: [url] How can I prevent this?
2. I don't like the grey background and would like the grid to fill the whole space, right and below.

I've got a DataGridView that has a DataTable as it's Datasource. Whenever I sort a column and then edit a cell, after editing the column, the column autosorts so the recently edited cell is no longer in the viewable area. Is there any way to prevent this auto sort from happening and only sort when I click on the columns?

View 2 RepliesI have a gridview that is bound to a datasource on a Windows Form (VB.NET). The grid displays a list of "certifications", and each "certification" can be associated with many languages. So in the grid, I'd like to display "languages" as a column, and display a comma delimited list of the language names for each "certification".
In the "certification" class, one of the properties is a list of "language" objects, and each "language" has an ID (guid), name (string), and value (integer).
So in the datasource, I have the list of "languages", but I can't figure out how to display them in a column on the grid. The gridview won't let me add the language list property as a column.
So is the ONLY way to add a new property on the "certification" class, which returns a string that contains the comma delimited list, and show THAT on the grid? Or is there a way to display that list of "languages"?

Also, here, I'm adding a handler to the DataBindings.CollectionChanged event.This is the second place that I retrieve the type:-

If e.Action = CollectionChangeAction.Add Then
Dim b As Binding = DirectCast(e.Element, Binding)

I need the first place, because the BindingContextChanged event is not fired until some time after InitializeComponent.The second place is needed if the binding field is programatically changed.Am I handling the correct events here, or is there a cleaner way to do it?
Note: My GetValueType method uses the CurrencyManager.GetItemProperties....etc, to retrieve the type.
