DataGridView Class

The DataGridView control provides a table for displaying data that allows for customization of cells, rows, columns, borders, and their appearance.

After you add a DataGridView control to form, you can create columns and rows that contain data and add them directly to the DataGridView using the Rows and Columns properties. You can also use the Rows collection to access DataGridViewRow objects and the DataGridViewRow.Cells property to read or write cell values directly.

After you add a DataGridView to a form (for example, DataGridView1), you add 2 columns as follows:

using elsystem.windows.forms;

method void AddColumn()

var: DataGridViewColumn col, // object variable used for a column

DataGridViewNumericUpDownColumn nudcol; // object variable used for an num up down column

begin

col = DataGridViewColumn.Create("Col 1"); // instantiate standard column titled "Col 1"

col.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.Automatic; // set to sort based on the cell values

DataGridView1.Columns.Add(col); // add standard column to the control

nudcol = DataGridViewNumericUpDownColumn.Create("Numbers");// instantiate up-down number column titled "Numbers"

nudcol.SortMode = DataGridViewColumnSortMode.Automatic; // set to sort based on the cell values

DataGridView1.Columns.Add(nudcol); // add num up down column to the control

end;
