datagridview and empty table - vb.net

DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables("Orders")
If the query returns no results (empty dataset table) I see -1 in first column of the DataGridView in OrderID column. When I click on a grid columns header it decreases -2, -3 etc.
How to fix it?

How about:
If ds.Tables("Orders").Rows.Count = 0 Then
lblNoResults.Visible = True
DataGridView1.Visible = False
Else
lblNoResults.Visible = False
DataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables("Orders")
'Anything else you need to do
DataGridView1.Visible = True
End If
lblNoResults would be a label with text something like "No results found" that you would display instead of your DataGridView.
Basically, don't bind the datasource if there are no rows in it.
It might be that there are bugs in your other code causing your specific problem. If you want to show more of your code then it'll be easier to say what's going wrong.

Cannot Hide Column in a DataGridView

I have four dgv's on a Winform. I successfully hid the unneeded columns on the first 3 dvg's by setting their "Visible" property to false. However, there is one column that will not hide on the fourth dgv and I cannot figure out why.
Here is the code for the fourth dgv:
With Me.DataGridView4
.DataSource = BSSJ
.AutoGenerateColumns = True
.AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.AllCells
.Columns("RecID").Visible = False
.Columns("JobID").Visible = False
.Columns("Deleted").Visible = False
.Columns("Amt").DefaultCellStyle.Format = "#,##0.00"
.Columns("Amt").DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight
End With
It is the "RecID" column that still appears in the dgv. The other two columns, "JobID" and "Deleted", are hidden as expected.
The data source, "BSSJ", is a bindingsource that is bound to an SQL table. I cannot omit this field from the Select statement of the query because it is needed in the relationship with the parent table.
The "RecID" is a primary key in the table bound to "BSSJ", but the other three dgv's have their primary key hidden successfully.
I'm probably missing something simple, but I just do not see it.
Any ideas?
This is not a direct answer as to why your code is not working, I could not replicate your issue.
But if you remove your autosizecolumns line of code, then you can set the width of the columns dynamically and potentially work around the issue
.Columns("RecID").Width = 0
.Columns("Amt").Width = 200
.Columns("JobID").Visible = False
.Columns("Deleted").Visible = False
.Columns("Amt").DefaultCellStyle.Format = "#,##0.00"
.Columns("Amt").DefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight

Data grid view with combo box , add rows from data table

Search and display data in data grid view
Dim cmd As New OracleCommand("Select JV_CODE,JV_ACC_NAME,DEBIT,CREDIT From VOUCHER_DETAIL where VOUCHERNO =:Vno", sgcnn)
cmd.Parameters.Add("#Vno", OracleDbType.NVarchar2).Value = txtJVNo.Text.ToString.Trim
Dim daVD As New OracleDataAdapter(cmd)
Dim dtVD As New DataTable()
daVD.Fill(dtVD)
dgvAccDetail.AutoGenerateColumns = False
dgvAccDetail.DataSource = dtVD
dgvAccDetail.Rows(0).Cells(0).Value = dtVD.Rows(0).Item("JV_CODE").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(0).Cells(1).Value = dtVD.Rows(0).Item("JV_ACC_NAME").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(0).Cells(2).Value = dtVD.Rows(0).Item("DEBIT").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(0).Cells(3).Value = dtVD.Rows(0).Item("CREDIT").ToString.Trim
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
There are two rows in dtVD data table but result shows only one I stack with this some can tell what I'm doing wrong ?
The reason for this is that you are only assigning the one row. You have a couple options:
First, this code below here shouldn't really be necessary, of you setup the property binding on the grid. You'll get better performance that way if you use a bind. You don't have your GUI code here, but essentially your DataPropertyName field on the columns should be set.
dgvAccDetail.Rows(0).Cells(0).Value = dtVD.Rows(0).Item("JV_CODE").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(0).Cells(1).Value = dtVD.Rows(0).Item("JV_ACC_NAME").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(0).Cells(2).Value = dtVD.Rows(0).Item("DEBIT").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(0).Cells(3).Value = dtVD.Rows(0).Item("CREDIT").ToString.Trim
If you insist on manually assigning the cell values, you cannot just do row 0 (that's the first row). You need to do all the rows in a loop.
For i as Integer = 0 to dtVD.Rows.Count - 1
dgvAccDetail.Rows(i).Cells(0).Value = dtVD.Rows(i).Item("JV_CODE").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(i).Cells(1).Value = dtVD.Rows(i).Item("JV_ACC_NAME").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(i).Cells(2).Value = dtVD.Rows(i).Item("DEBIT").ToString.Trim
dgvAccDetail.Rows(i).Cells(3).Value = dtVD.Rows(i).Item("CREDIT").ToString.Trim

Rowdata not visible in telerik radGrid view

I have a RasGridView with 2 rows of data fetched from SQL to be displayed in the grid.
If oSQL.IsConnected Then
Try
ds = oSQL.GetDataSet("Select * from calc_umns order by calc_id", CommandType.Text)
If ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0 Then
ds.Tables(0).TableName = "getSavedCalc"
RadGridView1.MasterGridViewTemplate.AutoGenerateColumns = False
RadGridView1.DataSource = ds
RadGridView1.DataMember = "getSavedCalc"
End If
Catch ex As Exception
End Try
End If
But the grid shows two rows with no data in it. could anyone guide where I am going wrong?
The FieldName property should be SET unique name and field value doesn't correspond to the SQL column names only FieldName property does.

Control name from Variable or Dataset. (Combobox)(.items.add)(.datasource)

I've checked for hours but I can't seem to find anything to help.
I want to loop through tables and columns from a dataset and use the column name in a combobox.items.add() line, however the eventual goal is to fill the combobox from the dataset itself possibly in a combobox.datasource line.
The first problem is that I can't get the code correct to setup the combobox control where it allows me to use .items.add("") and in extension .datasource
Error Message = "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
dstcopt is the dataset from a oledbDataAdapter .fill(dstcopt,"table") line (which returns correct values)
tc_opt is a tab name on a tab control where the comboboxes are
For Each dstable In dstcopt.Tables
For Each dscolumn In dstable.Columns
Dim colName As String = dscolumn.ToString
MsgBox(colName) 'This retuns "aantigen"
Dim cb As ComboBox = Me.tc_opt.Controls("cb_" & colName)
cb.Items.Add(colName)
'cb_aantigen.DataSource = dstcopt.Tables(dstable.ToString)
'cb_aantigen.DisplayMember = "aantigen"
'cb_atarget.DataSource = dstcopt.Tables(dstable.ToString)
'cb_atarget.DisplayMember = "atarget"
Next
Next
The second problem comes when I do it manually (which works) using the exact combobox names cb_aantigen and cb_atarget as seen in the comments.
The problem is that once the form is loaded and the cb's are filled with the correct values, I can't change the value in any single cb individually, when I change one value it changes them all (there is 15 comboboxes in total) I know this is down to using a dataset, but I don't know away to 'unlink them from each other or the dataset'
Not sure if I need to split this into 2 questions, but help on either problem would be appreciated.
EDIT:
After looking at only this section of code for a day. This is what I have come up with to tackle both the problems at once.
The combobox control not working was down to using a tab tc_opt instead of a groupbox gp_anti
The issue with splitting the dataset up into individual comboboxes, I've worked around by taking the value of each cell in the database and adding it separately, probably a better way to do it though
For Each dstable As DataTable In dstcopt.Tables
For Each dscolumn As DataColumn In dstable.Columns
Dim colName As String = dscolumn.ToString
Dim cb(2) As ComboBox
cb(0) = CType(Me.gp_anti.Controls("cb_" & colName), ComboBox)
cb(1) = CType(Me.gp_rec.Controls("cb_" & colName), ComboBox)
cb(2) = CType(Me.gp_nat.Controls("cb_" & colName), ComboBox)
For icb = 0 To cb.Count - 1
If Not (IsNothing(cb(icb))) Then
For irow = 0 To dstable.Rows.Count - 1
If dstable.Rows(irow)(colName).ToString <> Nothing Then
Dim icbitemdupe As Boolean = False
If cb(icb).Items.Contains(dstable.Rows(irow)(colName).ToString) Then
icbitemdupe = True
End If
If icbitemdupe = False Then
cb(icb).Items.Add(dstable.Rows(irow)(colName).ToString)
End If
End If
Next
End If
Next
Next

DataGridView column order does not seem to work

I have a DataGridView bound to a list of business objects:
Dim template As New IncidentTemplate
Dim temps As List(Of IncidentTemplate) = template.LoadAll
Dim bs As New BindingSource
If Not temps Is Nothing Then
bs.DataSource = temps
Me.dgvTemplates.DataSource = bs
End If
I then add an unbound button column and make some of the bound columns invisible:
Dim BtnCol As New DataGridViewButtonColumn
With BtnCol
.Name = "Edit"
.Text = "Edit"
.HeaderText = String.Empty
.ToolTipText = "Edit this Template"
.UseColumnTextForButtonValue = True
End With
.Columns.Add(BtnCol)
BtnCol = Nothing
For Each col As DataGridViewColumn In Me.dgvTemplates.Columns
Select Case col.Name
Case "Name"
col.DisplayIndex = 0
col.FillWeight = 100
col.Visible = True
Case "Description"
col.DisplayIndex = 1
col.FillWeight = 100
col.Visible = True
Case "Created"
col.DisplayIndex = 3
col.HeaderText = "Created On"
col.DefaultCellStyle.Format = "d"
col.FillWeight = 75
col.Visible = True
Case "CreatedBy"
col.DisplayIndex = 2
col.HeaderText = "Created By"
col.FillWeight = 75
col.Visible = True
Case "Edit"
col.DisplayIndex = 4
col.HeaderText = ""
col.FillWeight = 30
col.Visible = True
Case Else
col.Visible = False
End Select
Next
This seems to work reasonably well except no matter what I do the button column (Edit) always displays in the middle of the other columns instead of at the end. I've tried both DGV.Columns.Add and DGV.Columns.Insert as well as setting the DisplayIndex of the column (this works for all other columns) but I am unable to make the button column display in the correct location. I've also tried adding the button column both before and after setting the rest of the columns but this seems to make no difference Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? It's driving me crazy....
I stumbled on your post while looking to solve a similar problem. I finally tracked it down by doing as you mention (using the DisplayIndex property) and setting the AutoGenerateColumns property of the DataGridView to false. This property is not visible in the designer, so I just added it to the constructor for my form. Be sure to do this before setting the data source for your grid.
Hope this helps...
The AutoCreateColumn is the problem. The following article gives an example for how to fix it.
From DataDridView DisplayOrder Not Working
When setting the column’s DisplayIndex in a data grid view, some columns were out of order. To fix the issue, I had to set AutoGenerateColumns to true before setting the data source, and to FALSE after.
For Example:
dgvReservedStalls.AutoGenerateColumns = True
dgvReservedStalls.DataSource = clsReservedStalls.LoadDataTable()
dgvReservedStalls.AutoGenerateColumns = False
Same problem here, and after searching for a while, I found out that by setting the DisplayIndexes in Ascending order made it for me.
It's counter-intuitive, because it's a number, but I still had to set them in order.
This works:
With customersDataGridView
.Columns("ContactName").DisplayIndex = 0
.Columns("ContactTitle").DisplayIndex = 1
.Columns("City").DisplayIndex = 2
.Columns("Country").DisplayIndex = 3
.Columns("CompanyName").DisplayIndex = 4
End With
While this did not:
With customersDataGridView
.Columns("ContactName").DisplayIndex = 0
.Columns("CompanyName").DisplayIndex = 4
.Columns("Country").DisplayIndex = 3
.Columns("ContactTitle").DisplayIndex = 1
.Columns("City").DisplayIndex = 2
End With
I tried the above solutions without success. Then I found this article: It made it all better.
