Question

I have created a datagridview with 3 columns as below :

• SR no
• tasks
• status(checkbox column)

I have to add 11 rows whose values I want to hardcode.
like sr no 1 to 11 and specific texts for tasks.
checkbox column should be initially all set to false.

what is the best way of doing it?
please help.

When working with a DataGridView, I usually prefer to define the content using databinding. A simple way is to create a class to represent your records, create a list of objects of this class, and assign it to the DataSource property of the DGV :

class SR
{
    public int SRNumber { get; set; }
    public string Tasks { get; set; }
    public bool Status { get; set; }
}

...

var list = new List<SR>
{
    new SR { SRNumber = 1, Tasks = "Foo", Status = true },
    new SR { SRNumber = 2, Tasks = "Bar", Status = false },
    ...
};

dataGridView.DataSource = list;

In the designer, don’t forget to map each column to a property of the SR class (set DataPropertyName to the name of the property)
