[RESOLVED] [2.0] DataGridView

[shakti5385]

Hi all
I want to fill the DataGridView Manully and set the column value.
This I does in VB.NET

For I As Integer = 0 To DataTable.Rows.Count - 1 Step I + 1
            gridTable.Rows.Add(1)
            gridTable.Item(0, I).Value = DataTable.Rows(I)(2).ToString
 Next

This is in C#
but

int i = 0;
            for (i = 0 ; i< dataTable.Rows.Count;i++)
            {
                this.gridTable.Rows.Add(1);
                //I am Confused Here
            }

Thanks

The code is exactly the same in C#. The only difference is the colon on the end and the fact that when you index something in C# you use square brackets instead of parentheses like in VB. This:

gridTable.Item(0, I).Value = DataTable.Rows(I)(2).ToString

becomes this:

gridTable.Item[0, I].Value = DataTable.Rows[I][2].ToString();

Note also that you must ALWAYS include the parentheses when calling a method in C#, as I have done with ToString. I think that you should always do so in VB too to differentiate methods from properties. This is enforced in C# but not in VB.

Thanks sir

this.gridTable.Item[0, i].Value = dataTable.Rows[i][2].ToString();

But the error saying that System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView' does not contain a definition for 'Item'

and what that mean

Ah, sorry. Missed that. In VB.NET you have default properties. In C# the equivalent are indexers. With a default property in VB you have the choice of specifying the property:

gridTable.Item(0, I)

or omitting the property name and indexing the object directly:

gridTable(0, I)

In C# you don't have the choice. Only the second option is available:

gridTable[0, I]
