RE: How to Refresh Datagrid Control?

Hi

I think you first have to reload the DataSet,
the grid will refresh automaticaly when DataSet is changed.

Would you suggest the code that I need to use to "refresh" the dataset?

I'm at a loss.

Thanks,

RE: How to Refresh Datagrid Control?

Hi Mark

I do not know your code ...
Normaly you would fill a grid like this:

**************

// Variables
public System.Data.Sql Client.SqlConne ction return_SQLNATIV EConnection = new
System.Data.Sql Client.SqlConne ction();

// Create Connection
return_SQLNATIV EConnection.Con nectionString = "Data
Source=SQLServe r\SQLInstance;I nitial Catalog=SQLData base;Integrated
Security=SSPI;" ;
return_SQLNATIV EConnection.Ope n();

// DataAdapter erstellen
System.Data.Sql Client.SqlDataA dapter local_DataAdapt er = new
System.Data.Sql Client.SqlDataA dapter("SELECT * FROM Table",
return_SQLNATIV EConnection);

// DataSet erstellen
System.Data.Dat aSet local_DataSet = new System.Data.Dat aSet();

// DataSet fÃ¼llen
local_DataAdapt er.SelectComman d.CommandTimeou t = 0
local_DataAdapt er.Fill(local_D ataSet, "DataSetTableNa me");

// Grid fÃ¼llen
this.YourDataGr id.DataSource = local_DataSet

**************

For reload/refresh just run this code.

Best regards

RE: How to Refresh Datagrid Control?

Frank -

Thanks for the code. I can use this (and probably will end up using it if I
can't figure it out (see below)).

In my initial question I mentioned that I used the Add New Data Source
wizard. This process created the connection and a typed dataset for me
without any coding from me at all --- which is great and nice. It seems to
me that I should be able to refresh the dataset somehow, leveraging the code
generated by the wizard.

For example, soemthing like this (which doesn't work) would be great.
local_Dataset.c lear();
local_Dataset.m ydatatableTable Adaptor.GetData ();

So yeah I can use the code you supplied but then I wonder why I bothered
using the wizard in the first place.

Again, thanks for your suggestions.

I'm having trouble refreshing a datagrid control bound to a dataset that was

refresh the datagrid with data from the data source (sql db)?

More Details:

The application is C# Windows (VS 2005).

I used the "Add New Data Source" wizard to connect to a sql database and

and then dragged it onto the form. So far so good. The form runs fine, the
data grid populates properly.

Now I want to refresh the datagrid control. (I know the sql db has updated

added a button to the form (named "Refresh Grid") and want to add code to

RE: How to Refresh Datagrid Control?

Hi Mark

Well, the wizard also just creates some code.
This code is possibly stored in FormXY.Designer .cs.
And it works, when you open the form, the data is upToDate.

Because a DataSet is something like a snapshot,
"this.YourGridV iew.Refresh()" is not working ...
It is refreshing against the DataSet and this is still the same.
You first have to bring your DataSet UpToDate.

Or you start using some external (not MS) components.
I use Infragistics for all grid applications. Makes life easyer ... :-))

Frank

RE: How to Refresh Datagrid Control?

Frank -

Thanks for your comments.

The following code did the trick [i.e., requeried the sql db]:
this.mytableTab leAdapter.Fill( this.myDataset. mytable);

In fact I had something like this yesterday but it did not work. In reality
it was working but I didn't think it was since something else wasn't
working... When I went back to a simple model "Fill" worked just fine, and I
was able to work around that something else.

Again thanks for your interest.
