Cannot clear all rows in datagridview

[Bill Nguyen]

I tried almost everything
..Rows.clear()
..rowcount = 0
and the rows in a datagridview still not cleared

I populated the Datagridview manually using Row.Add

Any help is greatly appreciated

How do you know that the clear() method is not working?

Re: Cannot clear all rows in datagridview

The code below works in a simple form with a DataGridView and Button
dropped on it.

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.DataGridView 1.ColumnCount = 3
Me.DataGridView 1.AllowUserToAd dRows = False

Me.DataGridView 1.Rows.Add(New String() {"abc", "efg", "hij"})
Me.DataGridView 1.Rows.Add(New String() {"111", "efg", "hij"})
Me.DataGridView 1.Rows.Add(New String() {"222", "efg", "hij"})

End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
'either works
Me.DataGridView 1.RowCount = 0
'Me.DataGridVie w1.Rows.Clear()
End Sub

Re: Cannot clear all rows in datagridview

Me.DataGridView 1.RowCount = 0
Me.DataGridView 1.Rows.Clear()

It didn't work on mine.
Is it a problem with version/SP update?

I'll try again. How, exactly, do you know that Clear() is not working?
Have you added code to your application to check the remaining contents of
the DataTable within your DataGridView during the same run, or are you
checking your DataSource while in design mode?

Re: Cannot clear all rows in datagridview

I'm not going that far.
The Datagridview was still showing data. I want it to be cleared in my view.
If it cleared but I can still see all the rows and columns on the screen, I
would say that it's not working!

Thanks

Bill

I would agree :)

Here's an article written on the subject that may be useful:

I guess it depends on how you're populating the DataGridView. If it's bound
to a data source then I would remove the binding; otherwise, if the rows
were added manually then I would just clear the rows collection.

if (this.dataGridV iew1.DataSource != null)
{
this.dataGridVi ew1.DataSource = null;


}


else
{
this.dataGridVi ew1.Rows.Clear( );


}


Does that work in your situation?
