[2008] update Datagridview after editing details in edit form

Hi

I have a datagridview that when I double click a record it opens a second form where i can edit the details. Upon saving and closing this second form the datagridview in the first form is not refreshed or updated. I know that the data is being saved becase if i close the datagridview form and reopen it again, the correct data appears.

Code:

---

Private Sub btnSave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSave.Click


        Me.Validate()
        Me.ClientesBindingSource.EndEdit()
        Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.Bd1DataSet)

'Presumably i need to call something here to update the datagrid view in my first form like refresh or refill or update???'

        Me.Close()


    End Sub

---

Both forms are connected to ClientesBindingSource.

Any help much appreciated. :sick:

You need to re-populate the data in the GridView of the first form after you close the second form. Here is some code which will give you an idea about that.

vb.net Code:

Public Class Form1
 
    Private Sub Button2_Click( _
        ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs _
    ) Handles Button2.Click
 
        Dim frm3 As New Form3
        If frm3.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
            PopulateData()
        End If
        frm3.Dispose()
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub PopulateData()
        ' Code to populate the data
    End Sub
 
End Class

thanks Deepak

i tried to call the populatedata command, but it didn't seem to do anything. I have been checking for solutions to this all over the internet for days now. i have found several posts but very few people who seem to have resolved what seems to me should be a very simple problem.

any more help/suggestions much appreciated.

thanks

The dialogue shouldn't be saving anything. If the data needs to be saved immediately then it should be done by the caller after the dialogue has closed. There's a link in my signature about updating a grid row in a dialogue. After the dialogue closes you could call Update on your adapter if required.

Hi

thanks for your link jmcilhinney, i have now managed to get this working using the following code in my datagridview form

Code:

---

Public Class Form2

    Private Sub Form2_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
        Me.Validate()
        Me.ClientesBindingSource.EndEdit()
        Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.Bd1DataSet)
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'Bd1DataSet.Clientes' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
        Me.ClientesTableAdapter.Fill(Me.Bd1DataSet.Clientes)

    End Sub


    ' Handle the BindingComplete event to ensure the two forms
    ' remain synchronized.
    Private Sub bindingSource1_BindingComplete(ByVal sender As Object, _
        ByVal e As BindingCompleteEventArgs) Handles ClientesBindingSource.BindingComplete
        If e.BindingCompleteContext = BindingCompleteContext.DataSourceUpdate _
            AndAlso e.Exception Is Nothing Then
            e.Binding.BindingManagerBase.EndCurrentEdit()
        End If

    End Sub


    Private Sub ClientesDataGridView_CellDoubleClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles ClientesDataGridView.CellDoubleClick

        Dim frm4 As New Form4
        frm4.DataSource = Me.ClientesBindingSource(e.RowIndex)
        frm4.ShowDialog()

    End Sub

End Class

---

and in my edit form

Code:

---

Public Class Form4
    Public Property DataSource() As Object
        Get
            Return Me.ClientesBindingSource.DataSource
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Object)
            Me.ClientesBindingSource.DataSource = value
        End Set
    End Property
    Private Sub ClientesBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles ClientesBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
        Me.Validate()
        Me.ClientesBindingSource.EndEdit()
        Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.Bd1DataSet)

    End Sub

    Private Sub btntosave_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btntosave.Click
       
'this works exactly the same calling only  Me.ClientesBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.Validate()
        Me.ClientesBindingSource.EndEdit()
        Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.Bd1DataSet)
        Me.Close()
    End Sub
End Class

however, the binding navigator fails to work with this method.

what i am really trying to do is make a couple of forms like those in Microsoft Office Accounting 2008. In this program you have the datagrid style form to see the customers and then a details form for editing them. upon closing the edit form the details are immediately updated in the datagrid view form (i seem to have got this part working).

however, the edit form can also be opened independently of the datagridview form, simply by clicking add new customer on the main form of the program. using my method i wouldn't be able to save details of any new customer unless the datagridview form was open as the details are only getting saved on closing this form.

is there another way to do this?

Another question!!!! :D

Feeling so happy today that i have got this thing working, but now i am struggling to addnew, movenext, moveprevious without the use of my bindingnavigator.

Presumably i would need to do something with this code for next/previous

Code:

---

Public Class Form4
    Public Property DataSource() As Object
        Get
            Return Me.ClientesBindingSource.DataSource
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Object)
            Me.ClientesBindingSource.DataSource = value
        End Set

---

adding a new row is even more daunting.

It feels like every problem solved generates 100 more! :cry:

All the BindingNavigator does is call methods of the associated BindingSource. You can do the same in code. All the navigation methods are self-explanatory. To delete the current record you call RemoveCurrent. AddNew will create a new record and return it as a DataRowView. You can set the fields of that DataRowView by numeric index or column name. Once you've set the fields you call EndEdit to add the row to the underlying DataTable.

You'll note that in that thread of mine, to edit a row I get the BindingSource's Current property as a DataRowView, get the corresponding DataRow from that and pass it to the dialogue. You can do the same with the result of AddNew. If the user clicks OK then you call EndEdit to commit. If they press Cancel then you call CancelEdit to discard.

Hi

thanks jmcilhinney. I don't know if was clear in my previous post. I appreciate that while it is possible to call the methods of the bindingsource to AddNew etc. what i am struggling to do is make this happen in my edit details form.

For example, to try and move to the next record in my details form i tried calling

Code:

---

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

        Me.ClientesBindingSource.DataSource.MoveNext()


    End Sub

---

However i was returned the error

[COLOR="Red"]Public member 'MoveNext' on type 'DataRowView' not found

I guess this is becuase my details form is using a DataRowView from my main form.

any suggestions?

thanks for your help as always
