[RESOLVED] Aggregate a datagridview column

Please Help. I am trying to aggregate a column in a datagridview. I know how to get it to work if I bind a database to it, I have several of them working perfectly, but I have one datagrid that is not bound to a database and for the life of me can not fiqure out the Linq code (if there is one). If you can help, I would appreciate it.

As an example, I have three columns. Product, Qty, Unit Price. I would like it to Multiply the Unit price with the Qty and sum it up in a textbox.

Thanks,

try this:

vb Code:

Private Sub DataGridView1_RowEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.RowEnter
    TextBox1.Text = (CDec(DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("Qty").Value) * CDec(DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells("Unit_Price").Value)).ToString("C2")
End Sub

Thanks Paul, I will try that as soon as I get home. I post my results.

Hi Paul,
Your code worked but it tallies only a single row, so if I have a total of 5 rows all with different qty and price it doesn't give me a grand total, only displays the total of the selected row. I appreciate your help, I am alot further than I ever would of been. I am now trying to minipulate your code to give a grand total. If you have any suggestions, that would be great.

vb Code:

Private Sub DataGridView1_RowEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.RowEnter
    TextBox1.Text = (From row As DataGridViewRow In DataGridView1.Rows _
                     Where Not row.IsNewRow _
                     Select (CDec(row.Cells("Qty").Value) * CDec(row.Cells("Unit_Price").Value))).Sum.ToString("C2")
End Sub

Hi Paul

It works perfecty, I can't say thanks enough. I can stop banging my head against the wall, at least for now.
