Question

How can I display in a datagridview selected properties of an object, and also selected properties of a member object of this first object? I think I will not require binding but rely on hard coding updates, because the updates will initiate on non-UI threads, and I think that will not be so easy to bind. At least I’ve had problems with that in other project.

Basically I’m looking to understand what different ways I can do this. Maybe with LINQ, or whatever is most suitable. Note: I want to display the data in the same table. As the child/parent is a 1:1 relation.

So example code:

Public Class User
public property Score as Integer
public property Details as UserDetails
End Class

Public Class UserDetails
public property Name as String
public property userName as String
End Class

Hence, I want the table to show columns: Score, Name, UserName

EDIT:
Oh, this was more easy than I thought, seems this will work:

Dim q = (From n in userList Select New With {n.Score, n.Details.Name, n.Details.userName}).ToArray

Answer 1

For the record, this looks like appropriate solution:

Dim q = (From n in userList Select New With {n.Score, n.Details.Name, n.Details.userName}).ToArray
