Hi,

my problem concerns a DataGridView with a DataGridViewComboboxColumn. I want to display different contents in each combobox of this column. How can I bounddifferentlists of strings to the cells of the column?

The content of DataGridViewComboboxColumn.Items or DataGridViewComboboxColumn.DataSource always shows up in all comboboxes.

Thanks for help.

You may prepared several datasources for each combobox,e.g, DS1,DS2...DSn,as well as a “collection datasource" which is the combined with DS1~DSn. Then change the datasource of cell being edit, after finishing edition, change the datasource back to CollectionDS

private void dataGridView1_CellBeginEdit(object sender,   DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ColumnIndex == this.ComboBoxColumn.Index)
    {
        // Set the combobox cell datasource to corresponding BindingSource
        DataGridViewComboBoxCell dgcb = (DataGridViewComboBoxCell)dataGridView1
      [e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex];
        dgcb.DataSource = ds[e.RowIndex];
    }
}

private void dataGridView1_CellEndEdit(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.ColumnIndex == this.ComboBoxColumn.Index)
    {
        // Reset combobox cell to the collection BindingSource
        DataGridViewComboBoxCell dgcb = (DataGridViewComboBoxCell)dataGridView1
      [e.ColumnIndex, e.RowIndex];
        dgcb.DataSource = CollectionDS;
    }
}

}

It works perfect.

Thank you!
