Bind string array to DataGridView

[kadara]

Hi,

I have a function that creates a string array with 6 elements.
I would like to create a DataGridView with 10 columns and bind strings arrays to each column (the results of the function).
How could I do that?

Thanks.

You can't do what you want directly. I suggest creating a DataTable, adding your data to it and using that for the DataGridView's DataSource.

Something like this:

Dim dt As DataTable
Dim Column1 As DataColumn
Dim Column2 As DataColumn
Dim Column3 As DataColumn
Dim dr As DataRow

Column1 = New DataColumn("Column1")
Column2 = New DataColumn("Column2 ")
Column3 = New DataColumn("Column3")

dt = New DataTable

dt.Columns.Add(Column1)
dt.Columns.Add(Column2)
dt.Columns.Add(Column3)


For i As Integer = 0 to 5

    dr = dt.NewRow
    
    dr.Item("Column1") = Array1(i)
    dr.Item("Column2") = Array2(i)
    dr.Item("Column3") = Array3(i)

    dt.Rows.Add(dr)

Next i

DataGridView1.DataSource = dt
