View 1 RepliesHow do you change the column type in a datagridview programmatically? I have several tables that I want to allow the user to update using the same form. Depending on the table, I need to change the column type to a checkbox instead of text. Following is the code that I run (just exchanging the table name and column #). Everything works well as long as I don't try to change the column type.

I have set a a looping structure and want to access the ValueMemeber property. I can get a property called Value, but it seems to be the DesplayMember value. How to access the Valuemember?

I am writing validation for a datagridview which may open a number of different tables (dependant on what the user selects). The idea is that the user will select a lookup table to edit or add too, the datagridview opens (via a binding source) and populates itself with a specific table's data.
The user can then edit the data in the rows and when they are happy update the dataset which in turn updates the database table.
This all works except there is no validation per say prior to the update. As the datagrid loads a different table dynamically I cannot predetermine table column names (without writing a mass of hard coded values) so I would rather go by the datatype of the column since the tables all follow a similar format.[code]...
I have a column in a datagridview which is populated with a string. Can I format it to financial type format? Here is what I am trying, but not getting it.[code]This is not working so how should I go about doing this? All I am getting is right justified values.

Failure is not an option! But sometime you need to look at those option.
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP.When I drop a new DataGridView into my Windows Forms, and try to make 1 of the columns a checkBox, VS2005 gives me TWO of each columnType choice:
TextBox
TextBox
CheckBox
CheckBox
[code]....
Is that normal? Should I use "CheckBox type 1" or "type 2"?Also,When I make 1 of my columns a "checkBox", and then try to use it, the checkBox seems keep turning itself back ON.I turn it ON, and then click on a different column or row, and the checkbox stays ON, like it should.But if I turn the checkBox OFF, and then click on a different column or row, the checkbox magically turns itself back ON. I can't find anything in my code that says "turn it back on". And I've never connected it directly to any data source.
How to add a checkbox column at first column of datagridview including column header?After adding, how to code to "check all" or "uncheck all"?
View 27 RepliesThis is my programs complete code, the only problem is i want to fix the amount of decimal places that show up in my gridview. The problem is if i do this on the asp side the location of the column gets thrown off and the column is duplicated. I figured if i just remade the table on the asp side it would work only problem is if i remove the sql for that particular column the asp side column cannot get data.

Add persistence to multible DataGridView in terms of Hide/Show column and column width
View 1 RepliesIt 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?

Dim Comp = From C In db.Table1 _
Select C.Completed, C.Taken, C.Namne
Datagridview1.DataSource = Comp
Am using the Entity Framework and Columns Completed and Taken are of bit Datatype. When the query results are displayed in the datagridview, these bit columns are returned as of ColumnType Textbox - so i get a Datagridview textbox column with true or false string values.
I want to display Completed and Taken as Checkbox columns (either ticked for True or un-ticked for false) but ofcourse i can't do this in EditColumn dialogue because the Datagridview is unbound.
how can i change this in code at runtime
i have a column in datagridview composed of numeric as well as aphanumeric. What i want is when the user sorts the column, it will be sorted according to its number value, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. However it my current module, the program sorts basing the first digit of the column. like 1,10,11,12,2,3,30,31.
i was thinking of converting the type to number so that it will be arrange properly, is this possible in the datagridview to covert type? because i saw only a readonly property celltype? i have also tried casting it in the sql query itself to INT but it did not work.
Is there a way to find the column index of a datagridview column using the columns DataPropertyName?I currently use a loop (shown below in the class) which is kind of ugly, but it works. I'd like to do something like this, which seems more elegant.My goal is this, I store the users DataGridView column settings (i.e. DisplayIndex, Visible, & Width).When the user opens the form that contains the datagridview I want to get those settings from the database and apply the settings to the datagridview.[code]
View 5 RepliesI have a data gridview on my windows form with 4 columns. Now I identify a column as followed:

Some codes here on how could I validate my datagridview? I mean, a certain column on my datagridview should accept integers only, otherwise, it will return a messagebox. Kindly include on which event it should be posted.
View 17 RepliesI have a DataGridView (dgv) on a Windows form (VB.NET) which is bound to a datatable. One of the bound columns is a an ID (Foreign Key) to another datatable. All I want to do is Hide the ID column and populate an unbound column with the Name (ParmName) for the user. I searched the foreign value in the datatable and retrieved the information. I set the Value of the cell in the Datarow. All works well, but does not display. The cell accepts the value...I can even Debug.Print the values to the console. They are there just nothing displaying in DataGridView. Nothing odd about DataGridView. Should be straight forward...

A datagridview is sorting numerical values (when clicking the datagridview column header text) in the wrong order based on the initial digit:

For each column in data table i want to add parameter with same data type as column data type. But looks it's not that simple.

How can I do this?
I have the following code to add a new column into the datagridview but how to default value to this column?
I do not want to use for loop to loop through each row and get the column updated, is there any other way?
I want to default them to 'N' and i will have the code to change it to 'Y' subsequently based on conditions.
dgDataConfiguration.Columns.Add("Update", "Update")
The user enters information into a textbox and I would like to reflect these changes on the database. So say there is a value of 50 in the textbox and the user just deletes this and it is now "". When I try to update the database I receive an error as it expects a type of double. However, simple appending a 0 here when a value of "" is encountered will not work for me as I have a universal function to handle all of my updating needs. How would I go about determining the type of field I am dealing with (int, double, varchar) of the data table which I currently have in memory
