Data type for each Gridview column

[firoz]

Hi experts,

I am using the gridview for windows forms version Q1-2009, 

I am developing a vb2008 application which uses the rad grid view in unbound mode, my problem is , is it possible to assign datatype to each column. I mean column 1 as string, 2 as integer like that. If anyone knows the answer kindly replay me.

Thanks in advance

Hi Firoz,

Yes, this is possible. You should create columns of the corresponding type:

• For string column use the GridViewTextBoxColumn
• For integer column use the GridViewDecimalColumn
• For date time use the GridViewDateTimeColumn
• For boolean data use the GridViewCheckBoxColumn

If you need further assistance, please write us back.

Kind regards,

Hi,

Is there a way to automatycy bind something from database to MultiColumnComboBox, as a column in my DataGrid?

Hi hipero,

You should set the DataSource, DisplayMember, and ValueMember properties to bind a multi-column combo box. Here is sample:

GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn column = new GridViewMultiComboBoxColumn("Items");
column.DataSource = tableItems;
column.ValueMember = "ID";
column.DisplayMember = "Name";
column.DataType = typeof(int);
this.radGridView1.Columns.Add(column);

I hope it helps.
