I am trying to bind a DataSet to a DataGridView. I dropped a DataGridView in a Winform. In the designer I set DataGridView to have a column with ColumnType DataGridViewLinkColumn.
The DataSet is bound to the DataGrid with this code
dataGridView1.DataSource = dataset;
dataGridView1.DataMember = "incidents";
The DataSet dataset
is constructed like this:
dataset = new DataSet("incidents")
dataset.Tables.Add(CreateDataTable())
DataTable CreateDataTable()
{
dataTable = new DataTable("incidents");
DataRow dtRow;
DataColumn dtCol = new DataColumn();
dtCol.DataType = typeof(DataGridViewLinkCell) ;
dtCol.ColumnName = "hyperlink";
dtCol.ReadOnly = false;
dtCol.Unique = false;
dataTable.Columns.Add(dtCol);
return dataTable;
}
Then I try to write to the DataSet like this:
dtRow = dataTable.NewRow();
DataGridViewLinkCell thisLink = new DataGridViewLinkCell();
thisLink.Value = "http://localhost";
dtRow["hyperlink"] = thisLink;
However when the data is displayed in the WinForm I was expecting "http://localhost"
but i see "DataGridViewLinkCell { ColumnIndex=-1, RowIndex=-1 }"
