Question

I am new to winforms and I have a datagridview inside a table control.
I am trying to bind it to display data.

DataSet dataSet = new DataSet();
DataTable dataTable = dataSet.Tables.Add("Results");

dataTable.Columns.Add("ID");
dataTable.Columns.Add("Name");

dataTable.Rows.Add("1","Jack");
dataTable.Rows.Add("2","Donna");

dataGridView1.DataSource = dataSet;

I don’t find a dataGridView1.DataBind? So I am wondering how I can achieve this?

Also, I’m trying to figure out how to have the first column of the DataGridView as a checkbox. any pointers would help.

This should help with your databinding

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewcheckboxcolumn.aspx

take a look at that for the checkbox column

Here is some sample code

        DataSet ds = new DataSet();
        DataTable dt = new DataTable();
        dt.Columns.Add("Blah",typeof(bool));
        dt.Columns.Add("Blah2");
        ds.Tables.Add(dt);
        dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];
