Question

I have two windows forms. The first form shows list of records from sql. When you click some cell of a record in DataGridView it shows the second form. In the second form you can edit and update the record. I want DataGridView to be
updated automatically when user close second form. What should I do?

Answer 1

Are you using data bindings, or do you manually fill the grid ? With data bindings its very easy… if the data is contained in a DataTable and you change it somewhere, the change will be reflected automatically in the DataGridView. It also works with objects that implement INotifyPropertyChanged, and lists that implement IBindingList.

If you’re not using bindings, you can :

• locate the cell that contains the edited value, and update it manually, OR
• refill the entire grid
