Manuall entering data into a datagrid.

[Jay1b]

I want to use a table, in which i can manually enter data. I cant use a FlexGrid (for other reasons), so i was going to try to use a datagrid - although the information i want it to initially load is currently being held in arrays, i want it to pass the information from an array to a datagrid - Although i havent got the slightest clue on how to do this.

 

Thanks.

You can loop through the array and build a datatable or dataview which can then be bound to the datagrid.

 

There are many examples around here for building datatables and dataviews, I'll try and find one.

Cheers, i havent got a clue where to begin with this one.

 

I am using vb/net by the way.

And i managed to derive the following from it, ok i havent done alot :(

 

Dim ds = New DataSet("MyDataSet")

Dim dt = ds.Tables.Add("MyTable")

 

dt.Columns.Add("ID")

dt.Columns.Add("FirstName")

dt.Columns.Add("LastName")

dt.Columns.Add("DOB")

 

But how can i get datagrid1 to read a dataset? and not a datasource.

 

Thanks
