How to use DataGrid ?

[Marty]

Hi,

How do I set rows/colums, titles and data in the DataGrid control of
VB.NET. I don't want to pass through a dataset and use databinding. I
want to set this grid manually.

Is there any tutorial for that?

Thanks

Marty

Well Marty,
You can use the Tablestyle Collections for the Same. Here when you click the
datagrid and see its properties there you set the Tablestyle properties.

Or you can also use it in code like the code example listed below

Dim tableStyle As New DataGridTableSt yle
tableStyle.Mapp ingName = "Grouping"

Dim column As New DataGridTextBox Column
column.MappingN ame = "Group_Code "
column.HeaderTe xt = "Code"
column.Width = 70
tableStyle.Grid ColumnStyles.Ad d(column)

column = New DataGridTextBox Column
column.MappingN ame = "Descriptio n"
column.HeaderTe xt = "Descriptio n"
column.Width = 200
tableStyle.Grid ColumnStyles.Ad d(column)

column = New DataGridTextBox Column
column.MappingN ame = "Remarks"
column.HeaderTe xt = "Remarks"
column.Width = 100
tableStyle.Grid ColumnStyles.Ad d(column)

Me.DataGrid1.Ta bleStyles.Add(t ableStyle)

You cannot, that is why the name is DataGrid and not Grid, it needs an
underlaying datasource.

(Which has not to be a table from a database by the way)

I hope this gives an idea?
