Need Help? Check out the DataGridView FAQ!

I've finished writing the first DataGridView FAQ. This isn't just a list of questions, but a comprehensive overview of the DataGridView. Please reply to this thread with addition Q/A questions, corrections, or suggestions for improvement.

There are also a set of DataGridView samples that help with common areas available at

Sounds like a firewall somewhere in your internet connection. Can you download the samples?

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the DataGridView Faq, it is great ..
.. but i think it will be greater if there is also the code in vb.net Smile

Is it possible ?

Converters are not always good (almost in 2.0) and there are some differences between c# and vb.

Cheers

I'll put that request down and hopefully some time in the future this can be done. Thanks for your comments!


EDIT: If there are specific questions in the FAQ or samples that you would like in VB please let me know. The majority of the FAQ is language neutral.

The samples download link must be off. I got WebBrowser samples.

Thanks. We'll try and get this fixed. Something changed on WindowsForms.net.

EDIT: Fixed

Hi Mark thanks for the FAQ'sit's great help.

Ihave used you example class TextAndImageColumn.

I seem to be having trouble instantiating the class. My columns and rows have to be created dynamically as they change for different views of the booking system I am writing. So i have to clear the columns and re-create them all the time. I am using something like the code below to create the column and cell objects but when I access the dataGridView1.CurrentCell - i can't se the image property ?

TextAndImageColumn newCol = New TextAndImageColumn();

TextAndImageCell newCell = New TextAndImageCell();

dataGridView1.Columns.Add(newCol);

dataGridView1.Rows.Add(newCell);

Hope you can help - and again thanks very much for the direct help.

btw - seems to have been an odd thing to miss out from dataGridView - Even good old MSFlexGrid could show both!

The CurrentCell is of type DataGridViewCell so you need to cast the CurrentCell to a DataGridViewImageCell type.

Hi Mark, thanks for that!

Isn't the DataGridViewImageCell for use with the dataGridViewImageColumn ??

anyway I've casted the TextAndImageCell to the dataGridView1.CurrentCell

TextAndImageCell imgCell = (TextAndImageCell)dataGridView1.CurrentCell;

imgCell.Image = imageList1.Images[2];

and it works fine. - Thank's you saved me loads of time
