[ACCEPTED]-Bind List of Classes into DataGridView-datagridview
How about binding to an anonymous type:
public void BindClass()
{
dataGridView1.DataSource = myList.Select(myClass => new {myClass.Data.ID, myClass.Data.Name}).ToList();
}
Will 2 you be updating the data in the datagridview 1 ?
To do that without changing the model is 3 exceptionally tricky (but possible), requiring ICustomTypeDescriptor or TypeDescriptionProvider, and 2 a custom PropertyDescriptor. To be honest: not worth it.
Just 1 add pass-thru properties:
public MyClass
{
public MyDataClass Data{get; set;}
[DisplayName("ID")]
public string DataID {
get {return Data.ID;}
set {Data.ID = value;}
}
[DisplayName("Name")]
public string DataName {
get {return Data.Name;}
set {Data.Name = value;}
}
}
It's easy with LINQ as you can see in This answer
Here's 2 a simple implementation of something I needed 1 to attach to datagridview.
DataGridView1.DataSource = _
(From i In ItemList Select i.ListID, i.FullName, i.PurchaseDesc, i.EditSequence).ToList
No, you can't do this out of the box. You 4 will have to write a custom binding source 3 (most likely with specialized logic for 2 your specific purpose) to allow 'drilling' deeper 1 than just 1 level of properties.
