Question

For instance, in class Athlete I have:
uint ID;
string Name;
Dictionary<string, string> statistics = new Dictionary<string, string>();

In the frontend I have a DataGridView structure bound to a list of Athletes which update ID & Name (via get, set & then raising the NotifyPropertyChanged Flag). This is done by implementing the following solution:

From a combobox the user can select what kind of athlete(basketball, football, etc.) When this is done, each instance of athlete’s dictionary is loaded with applicable statistics (Points -> 20, Steals ->2) and so on. What I want to do is have the DataGridView now bound to the ID, Name, and all values (with keys being the columns) of statistics.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You could create your own Dictionary (extending or better composing it), and implement IBindingList interface, then you should be able to bind the derived Dictionary to the DataGridView.
