I have the following code:
DataGridView lGrid = new DataGridView();
BindingSource _bind = new BindingSource();
DataTable Table = new DataTable();
this.Controls.Add(lGrid);
lGrid.AutoGenerateColumns = true;
List<string> ColumnsNames = new List<string>();
ColumnsNames.Add("ID");
ColumnsNames.Add("NAME");
foreach (string Name in ColumnsNames)
Table.Columns.Add(Name);
DataColumn col = Table.Columns["ID"];
DataColumn[] keys = new DataColumn[1];
keys[0] = Table.Columns["ID"];
Table.PrimaryKey = keys;
lGrid.DataSource = _bind;
_bind.DataSource = Table;
int i = lGrid.Columns.Count;
which populates lGrid with columns in datatable just fine with this code executing in the form constructor. However, when I move it to the control constructor binding doesn't work and i = 0. Why is it so and what can i do about it?
Update1
OK. the constructors are the most simple
public partial class Form1 : Form {
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
//CODE GOES HERE
}
}
VS
public class mycontrol : Control
{
public mycontrol()
{
//CODE GOES HERE
}
}
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
mycontrol ll = new mycontrol();
this.Controls.Add(ll);
}
}
