CONNECT RadioButton TO DATABASE

Hi,
i have a form with a bunch of textbox's that are connected to a ms access data source, so i can update, edit and delete records.
I also have 4 radio buttons.
What i'm trying to acheive is that when a row is selected in the datagridview, the textboxes show the values in them (id, name, number, etc.),which works perfectly, and the radio buttons should show the value of the "grade" column of the cell that is selected.

So basicaly when you click a record, if the grade is 5 i want the radiobutton5 to be selected. And if i click radiobutton6 it should update the field to 6.

I hope i am being clear enough for you to understand me.
Thanks in advance!

You will need to evaluate the value of the "grade" field and set checked property of the appropriate radio button manually.

thanks for replying,
can you please explain further to what you mean (maybe with an example) because i'm a noob.
Thanks!:)

Something like this:

Code:

---

Private Sub DataGridView1_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.SelectionChanged
        Dim RBs() As RadioButton = {Me.RadioButton1, Me.RadioButton2, Me.RadioButton3, Me.RadioButton4, Me.RadioButton5, Me.RadioButton6}
        Dim grade As Integer = CInt(Me.DataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells("Grade").Value)
        If grade > 0 AndAlso grade <= RBs.Length Then
            RBs(grade - 1).Checked = True
        End If
    End Sub

---

Thanks for the reply!
I tried sticking that into my code and it doesnt check any radio button. I also noticed that i get this error when i try to add a new record: "Conversion from type 'DBNull' to type 'String' is not valid."

This is how i entered the code:

Code:

---

Private Sub DataGridView1_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Datalist.SelectionChanged
        Dim RBs() As RadioButton = {Me.RadioButton4, Me.RadioButton5, Me.RadioButton6, Me.RadioButton7}
        Dim grade As Integer = CInt (Me.Datalist.CurrentRow.Cells(5).Value)
        If grade > 0 AndAlso grade <= RBs.Length Then
            RBs(grade - 1).Checked = True
        End If
    End Sub

---

Thanks again for your help!:)

What are all the possible grades? Are they 4, 5, 6 and 7?

yes.
thanks!

Then try this:

Code:

---

Private Sub DataGridView1_SelectionChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Datalist.SelectionChanged
        Dim RBs() As RadioButton = {Me.RadioButton4, Me.RadioButton5, Me.RadioButton6, Me.RadioButton7}
        Dim value as Object = Me.Datalist.CurrentRow.Cells(5).Value
        Dim grade As Integer  = 0
        If value IsNot Nothing AndAlso Not IsDBNull(value) Then
            grade = Cint(value)
            Dim index As Integer = grade - 4
            If index >= 0 AndAlso index < RBs.Length Then
                  RBs(index).Checked = True
            End If
        End If
    End Sub

---

I GET AN ERROR AT

Code:

---

grade = CInt(value)

---

"Conversion from string "HJ" to type 'Integer' is not valid." (WHICH IS THE VALUE OF COLUMN 2)

THANKS!

I just added some more records to the database, and realized that the code is getting the value of column #2 (which is a data column) instead of column #5.
How can i change that?
Thanks!

FIGURED IT OUT!
Dim value As Object = Me.Datalist.CurrentRow.Cells("GRADEDataGridViewTextBoxColumn").Value

THANKS ALOT!
