I'm working on datagridview in c# windows forms application and I'm loading the data from the database, now i want the user to be able to able to edit the cell value and save the value to the database, how to edit the cell value and how can i save the value to the database?
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("user id=sa;password=123;database=employee");
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from UserReg", con);
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds, "p");
dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables["p"];
One of the way to update a database with DataGridView
is using of DataGridView's events:
DataGridView.CellBeginEdit
DataGridView.CellValidating
DataGridView.CellEndEdit
Let say: private DataGridView dgv;
Add handlers of events
dgv.CellBeginEdit += dgv_CellBeginEdit;
dgv.CellValidating += dgv_CellValidating;
dgv.CellEndEdit += dgv_CellEndEdit;
private void dgv_CellBeginEdit(Object sender, DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs e)
{
//Here we save a current value of cell to some variable, that later we can compare with a new value
//For example using of dgv.Tag property
if(e.RowIndex >= 0 && e.ColumnIndex >= 0)
{
this.dgv.Tag = this.dgv.CurrentCell.Value;
//Or cast sender to DataGridView variable-> than this handler can be used in another datagridview
}
}
private void dgv_CellValidating(Object sender, DataGridViewCellValidatingEventArgs e)
{
//Here you can add all kind of checks for new value
//For exapmle simple compare with old value and check for be more than 0
if(this.dgv.Tag = this.dgv.CurrentCell.Value)
e.Cancel = true; //Cancel changes of current cell
//For example used Integer check
int32 iTemp;
if (Int32.TryParse(this.dgv.CurrentCell.Value, iTemp) = True && iTemp > 0)
{
//value is ok
}
else
{
e.Cancel = True;
}
}
Private Sub dgvtest1_CellEndEdit(Object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
//Because CellEndEdit event occurs after CellValidating event(if not cancelled)
//Here you can update new value to database
}
