Setting CellTemplate Of DataGridViewComboboxCell Cause DataError
May 28, 2012
I am using VB 2010 Express to create a windows forms application with an unbound DataGridView. The DataGridView has multible columns, two of which are ComboBox Columns. I would like to make the borders of the cells be bold when selected as some type of indication to which cell is the current cell. It is possible that I overlooked something completly but I could not seem to find a property that would allow this to happen.
My solution was to create a custom class which inherits from the appropriate DataGridViewCell type (e.g. DataGridViewTextBoxCell, etc..), in that class I override the Paint sub. There I check the selected property and draw a rectangle using the cell bounds.
This works with every type except the DataGridViewComboBoxCell. On the columns of this type I receive an ArgumentException on the call to the Paint Sub. Even if I just have an empty class that only inherits from the DataGridViewComboBoxCell.
Again, it is quite possible that I have overlooked somthing and am making the a lot more complicated than it needs to be.

I have been reading up on this, but I can't get it to work for me. I am reading in comma delimited text into a three-column datagridview control. The third column is a combo box which only accepts certian values. If the data being imported into col 3 is not in the combo box list I get an error that tells me to handle the data error event.trying to capture that error and get rid of the default error message box. I am working with a Try/Catch statement, but it doesn't seem do anything.
Do Until fileReader.EndOfStream
stringLine = fileReader.ReadLine()
If Not stringLine.StartsWith("'") And Trim(stringLine) <> "" Then

I cannot Unresolve a post.I have a datagridview control with a combo box. The user loads data from a file into the control. If there are errors (the element in the combo box column is not in the combo box list) I would like to:
1. capture the row in which the error occurred, and store it in code/memory
2. change the cell backround to red (this is not that important)
3. continue without a message at the time of the error
4. post a message with all of the errors after the load is complete
I am using the code staight out of the Microsoft example to try to figure how to do this, but it is not posting any messages when I load bad data, so I am not getting any smarter from the example.[code]

If you want to replace this standard messagebox, handle the DataError-expection
When debugging, there is no break in the code. The messagebox just pops up without showing me exaclty where the error is located.

I am using a DataGridView bound to a BindingSource which is itself bound to a List of objects. This all works well until I remove objects from the list. If I am scrolled down to the bottom of the DataGridView and then remove a bunch of items from the list it is bound to it generates a DataError exception because the length changed and the rows I am looking at no longer exist... I changed my code to handle that error, but now instead of popping up a message it SLOWLY erases the data in each of the newly invalid rows at the end of the table (I think each time it does one it generates a new DataError, which is why it is so slow).
How do I prevent this? I want to be able to dynamically (and programmatically) add and remove items from the table without the possibility of this error... I assumed this would be handled automatically as part of the data binding process but I guess not.

Using VS2010 and VS2008
I have a DataGridView bound to a DataTable which has an Int16 DataColumn. The DGV has a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn tied to the DataColumn.
I enter integer values in the Items section of the DGVCBColumn properties. When I run the program I get "DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid".
I assume this is because my Items are text and the data column is integer so I created a List of Integer, added my integer values/choices to the list and made the List my data source for the ComboBox column. Same error.
I then created another DT in the DS with one column type Int16, added my integer choices to the DT, created a BS for the ChoicesDT and set this BS as the DataSource, the column as the DisplayMember and the ValueMember. Same error.
There are no issues like this when the DataColumn is bound to a ComboBox outside of the DGV so I assume there is some issue with the DGV understanding the underlying binding.

On a form I have a DataGridView. Inside this DataGridView i have several columns of which one is combobox and the others are textboxes.The combobox column is populated with values from a MySql database table using a query. So far so good. What i want next is to populate a certain textbox from that DataGridView, automatically after a value from the combobox is selected. When a value is selected from the dropdown list of the combobox, that value is used in a SQL query to find the value that will be displayed in the textbox.All the textboxes and the combobox are inside the DataGridView!)I did this using DataGridView EditingControlShowing event because a DataGridViewComboBoxCell does not have aSelectedIndexChanged event.The value is displayed correctly in the textbox, but the problem is that the value selected from the combobox disappears after the selection, and the combobox remains empty. I need the value to remain in the combobox after it was selected and after the corresponding value was inserted in the textbox!Here is the code for this:
Code:
Private Sub test_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

I have a DataGridView with two DataGridViewComboBoxColumns. I want to use the selected item in the first column to trigger a re-population of the items in the second column, on a per-row basis.
Here's the code I have so far. "addlInfoParentCat" identifies the first column, and currentRow.Cells.Item(1) is the DataGridViewComboBoxCell that I want to re-populate. ExtEventAdditionalInfoType is a type I defined that contains the string/value pairs.
Private Sub dgvAdditionalInfo_CellValueChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles dgvAdditionalInfo.CellValueChanged

I want to have a DataGridView that has two columns.The first column will always be of type DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. Based on the selection in that column, I'd like to be able to change the corresponding cell in the second column to either a DataGridViewComboBoxCell or a DataGridViewTextBoxCell.I'm thinking I just need to make the second column of type DataGridViewColumn, but don't understand the mechanics of how to change the cell type on the fly.I'm working with VB.NET in Visual Studio 2005.
Update: One way around it, I suppose, is to make the second column as a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, and change the attributes of the cell so that it either behaves like a drop-down list, or as an (editable) drop-down with no elements. The latter looks enough like a text box that I could live with it, and it wouldn't involve changing the type of the cell.

I'm getting some data from a database and I'm setting them to a DataGridViewComboBoxCell. I also need to set the Tag property of each DataGridView ComboBoxCell item to a specific value, so later, I can query the DB with those two items.The issue, is that I can't seem to figure out how to access the DataGridViewComboBoxCell Item's Tag property.[code]I wrote it on the spot and it wasn't until later that I realized that I'm setting the Tag property of the DataGridViewComboBoxCell itself and not the DataGridViewComboBoxCell's Items.

I have an error but will explain how i set up my db:Two tables, One is called Area and the other Postal_Code.
The aim is to assign a postal code to the area.Sometimes we add postal codes and sometimes these codes change or need to be deleted.I used the wizard to create the datasets and dropped them on two forms linked to a SQL db.We can Add,Edit,Update & Delete so all is working fine there is no relationship between te tables as they dont need to be linked, I only require the PCode to me added to the Area Table, not any ID or Index etc.
One of the fileds in the Grid on the Areas form is the Postal Code, its set to a combobox that when the user is adding it gives them a selection of postal codes to select from.I get the error when loading the datagrid on the Area form: System.ArgumentException: DatagridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid
This happens only when the postal codes are changed or deleted in the Postal codes table.
I know what causes the error - the dropdown on my Areas form looks for the value in the Postal Code table and does not find it beacause it has either been changed or deleted.Im doing this manually - I go into SQL and remove the postal code data from the record.Then the form loads with no errors.
Q: Is there any way when the Datagridview loads that I can tell it when the PCode does not exsist in the Postal Codes table that it should rather leave it blank and warn the user that there are errors they need to fix befor they can save.

Given a datagridview, using complex binding I have a datagridviewcomboboxcolumn that displays data from a different table. My question is: when the dropdown list of the comboboxcell is shown is it possible to display a different text than the DisplayMember, lets say more detailed?I search for a solution but could not find any.

I have a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn, and want to switch the style of the ComboBox control between DropDownList and DropDown (mainly for the text field editing capability). I'd like to do this on a row-by-row basis (at the DataGridViewComboBoxCell level).How would I do that programatically? Or maybe a different way of asking: How do I access the ComboBox control given an object of type DataGridViewComboBoxCell?

I've tried pretty much everything to solve this problem (except what works, obviously) and almost worn out Google, so now I'm giving this forum a chance. Basically I'm making an application which needs to map column names in an excel spreadsheet to fields in a table (TableB) through a data transfer setup table(TableA); To make this work as planned, I need to compare a value in "FromField" in TableA with headers/column names read from an excel spreadsheet into a list of strings, and if they match, map "FromField" against "ToField", prior to importing data from the spreadsheet. The column names that don't match with "FromField" are to populate a combo box in the FromField column in my DataGridView.
PROBLEM: I get this to work fine as long as I don't handle case differences (e.g. "FieldToBeImported" in Field1 vs. "fieldtobeimported" as header in spreadsheet), but this prevents matching words with case differences to be mapped, and leaves it to the user to manually map fields that should have been mapped automatically. However, if I make a ToUPPER copy of the List Of String that contains the MS Excel column names and compare them to a ToUpper version "FromField" data, I get the error message from the topic:
"System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid"A little explanation on DataGridView2 before diving into the code: Column in index 0 is a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn added in code, where matching fields in column 0 and 1 are mapped, and non-matching fields are populated in the combobox.Column in index 1 is "ToField" (TableA as source), Column in index 2 is "FromField" (TableA as source) and is hidden in runtime.

I have a Class MessageIndex which holds an integer. I have a custom DataGridViewComboBoxCell which has a MessageIndex variable. If the MessageIndex is not set, the cell acts as a normal DataGridViewComboBoxCell; if the MessageIndex is set, then the GetValue and SetValue methods of the DataGridViewComboBoxCell are overridden so as to return the value of the object from its DataSource at the index of the integer stored in the MessageIndex.
As far as I can tell from stepping through the code, that actually works fine. The object returned by the GetValue function is fetched from the DataSource, based on the integer stored in the MessageIndex.
The problem is that when the DataGridView is displayed, all of the cells are blank. The values of the cells can then be set using the ComboBox dropdown, which appears to work fine.
But why are the initial selections not being displayed? As I say, as far as I can tell, the correct information is being retrieved by the GetValue function of the DataGridViewComboBoxCells when the form is initially displayed. It's just not ending up on the screen.

In our projects we use setting variables to store user setting for the applications. Moreover, with every latest version of the applications, we upgrade these variables to retain user settings.Normally, this works fine, but recently one of my end user reported an error i.e.Configuration System failed to initialize". The error is related to user.config file. Therefore we requested the user to send us his file.After received the folder, we noticed that it contains 3 files (3begfjb.newcfg,3begfjb.tmp and user. config). 3begfjb.tmp is an empty file, while 3begfjb.newcfg and user.config are identical files. We tried to open these files but the data in user.config isn't proper xml rather its unreadable formatted file.Do any you guys had experienced this sort of issue or any ideas how and what may have created these files and corrupted user.config file.
