Using the Correct Grid?

[Kenneth Johnson]

Here's my scenerio. I need a grid loaded from a DataTable. I also need to be able to set specific cells to cell type Static. I also need to rebuild the combobox selection list on the fly so the user cannot add a new row to the grid and make a selection that would result in a duplication in a specific column. I'm currently using a GridDataBoundGrid and creating a GridBoundColumn for each column in the DataTable. I'm having problems resetting the cell type for a cell and resetting the cell's combobox selection list datasource. Are these types of cell specific changes possible with the GridDataBoundGrid or should I try the GridControl?

Hi Ken,

try to take a look at the QueryCellInfo event. This lets you specify cell type, combobox data source and other cell settings on the fly.
Check out also the CurrentCellValidating event to prevent duplicate values.

I thing using GridDataBoundGrid is the right choice.
