Setting desired column in datagridview to combobox,checkbox

[MikeCt]

Hello

I have a Datagridview which is populated from a sql query. The order of the columns and binding of the grid are handled at runtime. Problem is I cannot find a way to assign the combobox and checkbox to the columns I desire. In the example below column (1) and the last column share the same header names. I'm trying to have the last Column ( filled with a combobox ) show in column (1). All examples I've come across, always show comboboxes and checkboxes as the end columns. As shown in the example I can achieve this. But I can not find any examples with code to show how to populate the desired columns with the comboboxes or checkboxes.
VB2013

Thank you for any help

Instead of using the Add method, like this:

DataGridView1.Columns.Add(Type)

use the Insert method, which allows you to specify the index of the column:

DataGridView1.Columns.Insert(1, Type)
