How is the c# datagridview control used?

The DataGridView control in C# is a table control used for displaying and editing data. It offers numerous functions such as data binding, sorting, filtering, editing, selecting, and pagination.

The basic steps for using the DataGridView control are as follows:

  1. Add a DataGridView control to the form: in the form designer, drag the DataGridView control from the toolbox onto the form.
  2. You can set the properties of the DataGridView control by using the property window or code, such as name, position, size, column headers, and so on.
  3. You can set the data source by either binding the data to the DataGridView control through code, or by using the data binding feature in the designer.
  4. Add columns: You can add columns, set the type, title, width, and other properties of the columns through code or the column editor in the designer.
  5. Set cell style: You can set the style of a cell, such as background color, foreground color, font, etc., through code or the style editor in the designer.
  6. Event Handling: Events of the DataGridView control, such as cell click, editing finished, and data sorting, can be handled using code.
  7. Edit data: You can enter edit mode by double-clicking on a cell or code, and change the value of the cell.
  8. Save data: The modified data can be saved to the data source using code.

The above is the fundamental usage of the DataGridView control. There are many advanced features and properties that can be utilized, such as pagination, sorting, filtering, formatting, and freezing columns. Depending on specific needs, further learning and utilization can be pursued.
