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 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'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 RepliesHow to sort items in ListView by column bound to an Observable Collection ?I've looked all over the place and I can't find anything easy enough or simple on this.
View 2 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?

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

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.
In my form I have several datagrids.
View 2 RepliesI have use this code to view my database into my datagird
Dim dbPath As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.Oledb.4.0; Data Source=../VG.mdb;Persist Security Info=False"
Dim dt As New DataTable
Dim ds As New DataSet
Dim da As New OleDbDataAdapter
da = New OleDbDataAdapter("Select * from Marriage", dbPath)
ds.Tables.Add(dt)
da.Fill(dt)
Now every time I visit that form I have to manually click the column header of "EventDate" to that it will sort Descending. Is there a way to automatically sort it every time I visit this form?
I have a table with two columns, date and time. I am using the following code to sort in descending date order.
VB
If historydataGrid.Rows.Count > 0 Then
'if there are rows, sort by date (most recent first)
historydataGrid.Sort(historydataGrid.Columns(0), System.ComponentModel.ListSortDirection.Descending)
End If
Where Columns(0) is the Date. However, how difficult is it for me to then sort secondarily by time. So that the grid will sort by most recent date and time.. Working down from the most recent time on the most recent date, and then moving backwards towards the oldest date with the oldest time.

View 1 Repliesi have a GridView bound to a DataView. Some columns in the DataView's table are foreignkeys to related tables(f.e. Customer). I want to enable sorting for these columns too, but all i can do is sorting the foreignkey(fiCustomer) and not the CustomerName.
I have tried this without success(" Cannot find column ERP_Customer.CustomerName "):
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Customer" SortExpression="ERP_Customer.CustomerName" >
A tried also the DataViewManager, but i've a problem to detect the table to sort:

After I have retrieved my data from my access database, I would like to insert text into one of the columns in a new row. Is this possible? Here's a snipit of my code I use to retrieve the data from access:

It's the rtotal_time value that I need to insert into a new row, in and cell, the datagrid.

in case i need to make any changes to my database i don't want to enter the database and create new table or add new fields to existing table to my current database,i would like to do that throught visual studio 2010 programaticaly. something like an additional application where i will choose my database path and the application will upgrade the database with new tables or new fields .
i would like also to ask, in order to create database,or if you already have the database and you like to just open the connection to it programaticaly and add new field ,or relate some table ,you have to work with different librarys? Like ADOX,DAO etc ? and other.?

I need to add a new field to an Access database table, the user has filled the table with data, so I have to add the new field but to preserve the old data.

How can do this in VB2010?
I have already binded a data source from Access to my visual basic program but need to add a True/False column to two of the tables. I could do this manually in access and re-bind the sources but that would take up too much of my time so I wanted to know if I'm using the proper code to add a column to the data table directly from VB? Here is the code I want to try but I don't know where to place it?
OleDbCommand = OleDbCommand("ALTER TABLE tableName ADD
FieldName DataType");
(something).Connection = OleDbConnection;

I'm not sure what goes into the "something" parenthesis and where this code must go. I already tried editting through the data designer but although it shows the column in the DataGridView, it does not save any data or the column into the actual access file.
I have a gridview in asp.net/vb and it is bound to a list - so there's no standard sorting available. I've found this jQuery plugin for sorting tables: [URL]. The plugin requires <thead> and <tbody>. The problem is, that my gridview only renders the <tbody>.
I've already tried
DataList.UseAccessibleHeader = True
DataList.HeaderRow.TableSection = TableRowSection.TableHeader
But this changes nothing.
My gridview markup:
<asp:GridView runat="server" CssClass="grid" ID="DataList" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowSorting="True" ClientIDMode ="Static">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField HeaderText="SomeHeaderText" DataField="SomeDataField" />

I have been experimenting with datagridview by designing a bill tracking program. The first challenge I haven't been able to solve myself is how to sort it. I managed to figure out how to save and update from xml but I don't know how to put it in any particular order. Is this possible with it bound, or would I need to write particular code to custom-fill in the date grid? All I am looking for is an a-z sort.
View 2 RepliesI am using Visual Basic 10/I have 2 datagridview tables. The main datagridview can be edited by the user; adding/removing rows, changing data in text/combo columns, sort, etc. 2 columns from the second datagridview are a carbon copy of 2 columns from the main datagridview. I have achieved this by binding both datagridviews to a dataset. So that when I edit the main datagridview the effects are automatically replicated in the second datagridview.
Before I bound the datagridviews to the dataset I had a fully functional system to save the content of the datagridview to a text file and read it back in. This has now stopped working with the error message 'Can't edit a bound datagridview programmatically'.
I'm looking to retrieve all the entries from one column of an access database table and copy to an array. this array i will then be randomly selecting values from it to create foootball fixtures.

I have a main window with a datagrid in the upper half and a tabcontrol in the lower half. The datagrid contains a list of companies. One of the tabs of the lower tabcontrol contains the information about contact persons corresponding to the company selected in the upper datagrid.
On the tab I place a usercontrol.
<TabItem Name="pgContactsXCompany">
<local:ContactsXCompany x:Name="contactsXCompany"/>
</TabItem>
[Code]....
When I run the application everything works without errors. The Sap number of the selected company is passed to the function UpdateContactsXCompanyDatagrid correctly. The Me.dgContactsXCompanyList.DataContext seems to be assigned, but the contact persons' datagrid is EMPTY. No row is diplayed.
