how to bind datatable to datagridview in c#

Question

I need to bind my DataTable to my DataGridView. i do this:

        DTable = new DataTable();
        SBind = new BindingSource();
        //ServersTable - DataGridView
        for (int i = 0; i < ServersTable.ColumnCount; ++i)
        {
            DTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(ServersTable.Columns[i].Name));
        }

        for (int i = 0; i < Apps.Count; ++i)
        {
            DataRow r = DTable.NewRow();
            r.BeginEdit();
            foreach (DataColumn c in DTable.Columns)
            {
                r[c.ColumnName] = //writing values
            }
            r.EndEdit();
            DTable.Rows.Add(r);
        }
        SBind.DataSource = DTable;
        ServersTable.DataSource = SBind;

But all i got is DataTable ADDS NEW columns to my DataGridView. I don't need this, i just need to write under existing columns. please, help me, guys!

Answer 1

foreach (DictionaryEntry entry in Hashtable)
{
    datagridviewTZ.Rows.Add(entry.Key.ToString(), entry.Value.ToString());
}

Answer 2

Even better:

DataTable DTable = new DataTable();
BindingSource SBind = new BindingSource();
SBind.DataSource = DTable;
DataGridView ServersTable = new DataGridView();

ServersTable.AutoGenerateColumns = false;
ServersTable.DataSource = DTable;

ServersTable.DataSource = SBind;
ServersTable.Refresh();

You're telling the bindable source that it's bound to the DataTable, in-turn you need to tell your DataGridView not to auto-generate columns, so it will only pull the data in for the columns you've manually input into the control... lastly refresh the control to update the databind.

Answer 3

Try this:

    ServersTable.Columns.Clear();
    ServersTable.DataSource = SBind;

If you don't want to clear all the existing columns, you have to set DataPropertyName for each existing column like this:

for (int i = 0; i < ServersTable.ColumnCount; ++i) {
  DTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(ServersTable.Columns[i].Name));
  ServersTable.Columns[i].DataPropertyName = ServersTable.Columns[i].Name;
}

Answer 4

for example we want to set a DataTable 'Users' to DataGridView by followig 2 steps : step 1 - get all Users by :

public DataTable  getAllUsers()
    {
        OracleConnection Connection = new OracleConnection(stringConnection);
        Connection.ConnectionString = stringConnection;
        Connection.Open();

        DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();

        OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand("semect * from Users");
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
        cmd.Connection = Connection;

        using (OracleDataAdapter dataAdapter = new OracleDataAdapter())
        {
            dataAdapter.SelectCommand = cmd;
            dataAdapter.Fill(dataSet);
        }

        return dataSet.Tables[0];
    }

step 2- set the return result to DataGridView :

public void setTableToDgv(DataGridView DGV, DataTable table)
    {
        DGV.DataSource = table;
    }

using example:

    setTableToDgv(dgv_client,getAllUsers());

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        DataTable StudentDataTable = new DataTable("Student");

        //perform this on the Load Event of the form
        private void AddColumns() 
        {
            StudentDataTable.Columns.Add("First_Int_Column", typeof(int));
            StudentDataTable.Columns.Add("Second_String_Column", typeof(String));

            this.dataGridViewDisplay.DataSource = StudentDataTable;
        }
    }

    //Save_Button_Event to save the form field to the table which is then bind to the TableGridView
    private void SaveForm()
        {
            StudentDataTable.Rows.Add(new object[] { textBoxFirst.Text, textBoxSecond.Text});

            dataGridViewDisplay.DataSource = StudentDataTable;
        }

Answer 6

On the DataGridView, set the DataPropertyName of the columns to your column names of your DataTable.
