DataGridViewLinkColumn cell can't write link winforms

Question

I have a Form with a DataGridView.

RMShyperlink = new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewLinkColumn(); //create a link column column
dataGridView1.Columns.Add(RMShyperlink); //add to my datagrid


for(int i =0 ; i < dataGridView1.Rows.Count; i++)
{
  dataGridView1.Rows[i].Cells[0].Value = "http://localhost"; //i set the value

  //but the value is null when I inspect it
}

how can I write a value to the cell?

Answer 1

There has to be more information for what's causing this. If you drop a DataGridView onto a form and put this code into the Form_Load event, your code works fine.

Could there be some other setting on the DataGridView that you haven't mentioned? Are you using databinding or something else?
