Hi, Whether we can create datagridview like below manner, 1)First column, first row should display image. Second row must display label and third row must display image button. 2)Second column,Label in first row and image button in second row. Both the column should be generated at the runtime.. is this possible?? Give some suggestions to output lik above format in datagridview

The DataGridView is designed to have ONE style of column. So a column is either a TextBoxColumn or an ImageColumn or a ButtonColumn.

I understand that it is possible to create your own style of column and use it in a DataGridView. I have never done this and don't know if it is possible to create an "ObjectColumn" that would correctly display anything *and* make it work correctly (such as a button click if the button were a column.)

You could look at third party products or sites such as CodeProject to see if anyone has written an alterative type of grid product that you could use for this.

Another option is to consider a FormLayoutPanel or TableLayoutPanel instead of a grid. That gives you much more control over the contents.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. Whether we can create separate usercontrol for every column and add it as the column to the datagridview?

Hi,

 

You can change the cell dynamically.

See this thread:
