datagrid row count

[luxton]

Hey all.

I have a question that's been burning in my head (and my code) for a lil while now... hopefully someone can help me (before I go nuts)

I have a custom object being returned by a webservice. I nab that custom object into a datagrid in my client app. All is good and fine with that, works quite nicely.. the problem is, I need to populate a checkedlistbox with that datagrid.

So, I can either figure out how to use a datagrid as the source for the checkedlistbox (not easy with IList being required and such), or I can run through the datagrid (using it like a recordset) and populate the checkedlistbox. I can currently chuck in as many records as I want into the checkedlistbox from the datagrid, one at a time... this is wonderful, until I go past the end of the datagrid and it blows up on me .

So, my question... how can I find the rowcount on a datagrid?? Or if anyone has any suggestions on other ways to do this, I'm MORE than open to ideas .

Cheers all.

I believe datagridName.Items.Count will give you the record count you are looking for.

Have you tried:
checkboxlist1.DataSource = datagridName.DataSource

in a round-a-bout way, that fully worked!!

setting the datasource of the check box gives me the right number of rows... so, I set a variable to the number of rows in the checkbox, then set the datasource of it to nothing, clear it and use the rowCount variable I had to loop through the datagrid!!

CHEERS!!

total kludge way to do it, but I've spent 'bout 25 hours on it and I'm sick of looking at that piece of code

thank you!!

Y seting the datasource of checkedlistbox and then clearing it and looping through datagrid and repopulating the checkedlistbox?????

I have to get the count of the datagrid... setting the datasource of the checkedboxlist to the datagrid gives me the total rows in the datagrid (checkedboxlist.items.count)... I then have a number to use as the maximum row value so I can loop through my datagrid and populate the checkedlistbox with the actual VALUES from the datagrid.

Like I said, super round-a-bout way to do it, but it works.

You should be able to get the count from the datagrid.

datagridName.Items.Count

[Lunatic3]

and populate the checkedlistbox with the actual VALUES from the datagrid.

So you mean that the checkedlistbox items comes from a column in datagrid, right?

If so then you may set the checkedlistbox datasource to that of datagrid and its dispaly memeber to the coulmn you want to show.

Unfortunately, no... no items.count on a datagrid

Except, setting the datasource of the checkedlistbox to the datagrid source displayed ServerFunction.Property instead of the actual columns within the datagrid.

checkedlistbox.datasource = datagrid.datasource is how I came to that.

Thats the way it should be unless you define its dispaly member property.
