Create new winform datagrid

[Dale Williams]

Everyone:

Using C#, I'm trying to create a datagrid on a winform programatically .
I placed the datagrid and the form and named it CHGrid. Here's the
code I'm using:

// Get and bind the data.
QarBusTier.Defe ctFoundLocation DFL = new
QarBusTier.Defe ctFoundLocation ();
System.Data.Dat aTable DFLTable = DFL.LoadAll();

CHGrid.DataSour ce = DFLTable;

// Set the data grid style.
DataGridTableSt yle ts1 = new DataGridTableSt yle();
ts1.MappingName = "Customers" ;

// Set the datagrid style.
CHGrid.Top = 50;
CHGrid.Left = 200;
CHGrid.Width = 350;
CHGrid.Height= 200;
CHGrid.ForeColo r = System.Drawing. Color.Black;
CHGrid.BackColo r = System.Drawing. Color.Beige;

// Create column.
DataGridBoolCol umn myDataCol = new DataGridBoolCol umn();
myDataCol.Mappi ngName = "DefectFoundLoc ationId";
myDataCol.Heade rText = "My New Column";
myDataCol.Width = 100;
ts1.GridColumnS tyles.Add(myDat aCol);

CHGrid.TableSty les.Add(ts1);

The DFL.LoadAll() just gets all the data from a table. My grid is
populated with the 4 columns being returned from DFL.LoadAll() but the
column I create is not being displayed.

I want to display only the column(s) I create and not have the grid
auto-populate.

Thanks for the help,
Dale Williams

Re: Create new winform datagrid

Hi Dale,

Define all the column and table styles FIRST and bind the grid to the data
source SECOND (I'd also recommend that you do the binding with the grid's
SetDataBinding method.
