Manually Populating A Datagridview?
Jun 10, 2009
Historically I used Tek-Tips for stuff like this but I can no longer access my account there and they do not respond to form based mail. Maybe they got tired of the questions too :-)
I am not a student. I manage a 'large' network. Every now and then I need to roll up something for a specific task. Most of the stuff I write only sees my desktop so neatness and originality are not an issue.My current 'project' is throttling back a few of my users disk storage. I am not allowed to implement Quota's (Server 2003 infrastructure) so I thought the next best thing would be a duplicate file report. I purchased Folder Sized 4 which is a beautiful product (I have used it since it's humble beginnings as Bullet Proof Folders). The end users claim that the filename and date checks are not enough to prove a duplicate. Enter my idea.
I have cobbled together a MD5 hash generator from a function found out on the web. Now I want to send the results to a datagridview instead of my current disk files.I has thought that I could access the rows & columns like dgv.row(x).column(x) = "strFile", dgv.row(x).column(y) = "strMD5"Nope, hunting through the available properties did not point me to any likely candidates.
Again, if this is not the place for questions of this nature please let me know. I am not a programmer, nor am I in training to be one. I just toss little things like this together when needed. Importing a CSV file into Excell is working, but it seems rather lame to be taking so many steps.

I've been playing with a DGV. Let's say for my question here, I want a grid that is 10x10. I would like the font in each cell to be Arial 10 regular. Only one character will be in each cell (I'll use "M"). I would LIKE the cells to be 17 pixels by 17 pixels. But, if I manually force the column width to be 17, I get about half of my M and three dots "M...". I'm thinking this is a padding thing but as far as I can tell, everything is set to 0. See code and then more comments below:
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
With DataGridView1
[Code]....
Question 1: How can I reclaim some of what seems to be lost space around the cell contents so I don't have to make them bigger than they need to be? I'd like them to be 17x17 with the single character centered within.
Question 2: Do I have to manually set the height and width of each row and column? I'm thinking the RowTemplate setting but can't seem to get it to work.
FYI: This is a new project with a DGV dragged onto the form. All changes have been made programatically.

I'm adding rows to a DataGridView via the following function, passing in one or more DataTables.The DataGrid is not aware what column(s) are coming back, but appears to build the column names okay.It's when it adds the individual cells (highlighted) that I get the following message:
ArgumentOutOfRangeException was unhandledSpecified argument was out of the range of valid values.Parameter name: rowIndex

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?

The situation: I have a datagridview with one column (col1). In the datagrid definition (design view), i have created this row, and set the formatting to C2 (or C0, or C - I tried them all). then, I load my datagrid view pro programmatically :
dbl_myValue as double
dbl_myValue = 6.99
datagridview1.item(0,0) =
dbl_myValue
The datagridView shows the data correctly : 6.99$. When I "spy" on the datagridview.item(0,0), the "Value" property is a Double.
the problem: It don't work if the user manually enter a value : click in the cell, enter a numeric value (let's say 100, without decimal to avoid complexity) and then LEAVE the cell (so no more in EDIT mode). The formating just don't applies. When I "spy" on the datagridview.item(0,0), the "value" property is a STRING. So I guess this is the problem, but how can i do?

I have a form which the datagridview will be built manually by reading in certain data from a text file (this is because the data in the text file will change periodically)The code is correctly adding the proper amount of rows but it is NOT putting the required values in the cells. Any thoughts?

in short not populating, below is the code i'm running with but it isn't loading. Newer to Datagridview so I know I'm missing something. The SQL import I've successfully done with a listbox and borrowed some of the code from that.

I have a DataGridView which reads data from a custom (CSLA) list object. The dataset might have 100,000 records, and obviously I don't want to show them all at once because, for one, it would take ages to load.I think it would be nice if I could read the first (for instance) 20 records, and make it so upon scrolling to the end of the list, it reads the next 20 and adds them to the DataGridView.
I have experimented with various ways of doing this, mostly using a custom class inheriting from DataGridView to capture scroll events and raising an event which adds new records. I will include the code below:
Public Class TestDGV
Inherits DataGridView
Public Sub New()
[code]....
Though this (sort of) works, it can be buggy. The biggest problem was that if you used the mouse to scroll the DataGrid, it would get stuck in a loop as it process the scrollbar's ValueChanged event after the data was added. That's why I added ScrollbarOff and ScrollbarOn - I call them before and after getting new records, which disables the scrollbar temporarily.
The problem with that is that after the scrollbar is re-enabled, it doesn't keep track of the current mouse state, so if you hold down the 'Down' button with the mouse (or click on part of the scrollbar) it stops scrolling after it has added the new records, and you have to click it again.

I have an unbound DataGridView control that displays a few columns of account data. The first column is a combobox that I fill with data from a dataset of names filtered by what's in a customer field on the form. When you click on a combo on one of the populated rows, the available names come up in the combo. But if the first click in the datagridview is on a new row's combo, various (incorrect) names appear. Only after you click on one of the populated row's comboboxes, does the correct data appear in the new row's combobox control.
I don't really understand why this is happening. I have been using the EditingControlShowing event to populate and add the combo to the new row, but it doesn't seem to be working very well. I hope someone out there has some ideas about the correct way to do this.

[VB 2008]. I'm trying to populate a DataGridView based on information in the Items in a ListBox (specifically, the file names without hypens or file extensions) and the content of the actual files. The DataGridView is supposed to look something like this:
IDNon-Hyphenated File NameFile Data
1. Some fileThe sky is blue.
2. Another fileThe grass is green.
The Items in the ListBox (lstFiles) look like this:
C:UsersUsernameDesktopFolderAsome-file.txt
C:UsersUsernameDesktopFolderAanother-file.txt
What is happening is that the DataGridView is being populated, but it looks like this:
IDNon-Hyphenated File NameFile Data
1 Another fileThe grass is green.
2 Another fileThe grass is green.
It's adding the second file's information to the DataTable twice and not adding the first file's information at all.
Private Sub btnDoSomething_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles btnDoSomething.Click
Dim pattern As String = "([w:\w /]([a-zA-Z0-9-]+?).w+)"
Dim reg As Regex = New Regex(pattern, RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Dim mat As Match
For Each Item In lstFiles.Items

My windows application uses a webservice (sql server backend) and now I'm trying to create a new form that has a datagridview control on it and I'm uncertain how to set it's datasource. I'm using visual studio 2005 and I have little experience using the datagridview control. In my webservice, I started the code that will be the datasource - should i be returning a dataset? I know that this code isn't correct, but I'm not sure what it needs:
<WebMethod()> _
Public Function SetMyDataSource() As DataSet
Using DBConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection(sConnectionString)
SetMyDataSource= Nothing

I've got a window with multiple datagridviews. Each with data from a separate dataTable. All of which are part of the same DataSet. There are a couple of places where one DataTable has a field joined with the lookup dataTable from the dataset. For example a lookup table for LugSizes has a field called LugSize that is also it's primary key. Another table called Device Terminations has a field called LugSize to which the user can only select those values from the LugSize lookup table. I thought it would be as simple as using the Items.Add method for the combobox column whenever a new lookup table row was added to its own datagridview. Unfortunately, when I try to initially clear the items list, the data error event is triggered for every row.
Here's a sample of my code if it helps:
HTML
Private Sub FillLugSizeComboBox()
Try
If colDTLugSize.Items.Count > 0 Then colDTLugSize.Items.Clear()

I have a form with a DataGridView and ComboBox, both of which are populated with data from an Excel spreadsheet, the source is unbound. My problem is in repopulating the DataGridView with data from another worksheet in the same Excel file when the user selects the corresponding value from the ComboBox. For example if they were to select January from the ComboBox then the DataGridView would load in and display the data contained on say Sheet2, selecting February would load Sheet 3 and so on. I am running Visual Studio 2008.
