How to use DataGrid

[krshaikh]

Hi,

I am new to VB.Net. I have been using MSFlexGrid for quite a long time and trying to learn VB.Net's datagrid is becoming a problem. I want to use DataGrid exactly the same way as MSFlexGrid. I dont wanna use a datatable or dataset as there is none. I have to programatically create headers rows and display information in columns. Can anybody please show me how it can be done.

Regards,

So far as I know the MS Datagrid has to be bound to a datasource such as a Table/View

However you could always add the MS Flex Grid as a COM component to your toolbox, or alternatively look at a flex grid from another source such as Component One.


Sweep
...if it works dont f*** with it

maybe you could use something like this?

Dim z(3)
Dim dt As New DataTable
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Account", GetType(String)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Name", GetType(String)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("Accountvalue", GetType Decimal)))
dt.Columns.Add(New DataColumn("accountdesc", GetType(String)))
z(0) = 100
z(1) = "buzz"
z(2) = 100.00
z(3) = "this is a test
dt.Rows.Add(z)
DataGrid1.DataSource = dt
Me.DataGrid1.DataSource.newrow()


if it is to be it's up to me
