How do I prevent the datagrid from displaying its append row

[jolly]

I tried doing this in VB but it won't work!

dataGrid1.DataSource = dataSet.Tables["customers"].DefaultView;

// do not allow an appendrow...
((DataView)dataGrid1.DataSource).AllowNew = false;

MY CODE:

datagrid1.datasource = dataset.tables ("customer").defaultview

CType(datagrid1.datasource, dataview).allowNew = false

I cannot change the type of the datasource to a dataview..that's the error!!

Check your code because I think this should work OK. In the C# code, it was "customers" and in the VB code, it was "customer". Did you mean to have it like this?

This code worked for me using the orders table from the northwind database.

Dim conStr As String
conStr = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source=C:orthwind.mdb"
Dim sqlStr As String
sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM Employees"
' Create connection object
Dim conn As OleDbConnection
conn = New OleDbConnection(conStr)
' Create data adapter object
Dim da As OleDbDataAdapter
da = New OleDbDataAdapter(sqlStr, conn)
' Create a dataset object and fill with data using data adapters Fill method
Dim ds As DataSet
ds = New DataSet()
da.Fill(ds, "Employees")
dataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables("Employees").DefaultView
dim dv as DataView = dataGrid1.DataSource
CType(dataGrid1.DataSource, DataView).AllowNew = False

Thanks yet again! I'll try that. You have added a dim dv as DataView = dataGrid1.DataSource
which i did not do. thanks!! :)
