I need to populate a table with a list of paramaters comming from a business
object as properties. I do not want the normal dataview were a property is
represented by a column. Instead I would like for example two columns. The
first shall contain the names of the parameters and the second column the
values of the parameters. The values are run-time values so they are updated
several times per second. So I will have a list like this:

COLUMN1 COLUMN2
par1.Name par1.Value
par2.Name par2.Value
par3.Name par3.Value

Is there a way for me to databind a cell each time I add a row in the table?
Something like:

datagridview.Databindings.Add("Rows[0].Cells[1].Value", par1, "Value");

(I no this syntax do not work)

Hi Patrik,

DataGridView can only support complex data binding, so it is impossible for
us to bind a cell in a DataGridView to a data source separately.

In my opinion, you have two options to get what you want.

One option is to fill the data into the cells within the DataGridView by
yourself. The following is a sample.

this.dataGridView1.RowCount = 3;
this.dataGridView1.ColumnCount = 2;

this.dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value = "par1.name";
this.dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[1].Value = "par1.value";
this.dataGridView1.Rows[1].Cells[0].Value = "par2.name";
this.dataGridView1.Rows[1].Cells[1].Value = "par2.value";
this.dataGridView1.Rows[2].Cells[0].Value = "par3.name";
this.dataGridView1.Rows[2].Cells[1].Value = "par3.value";

When you'd like to update the data in the DataGridView, you have to update
it by yourself.

The other option is to make use of a DataTable, which has two columns(one
column is fo r the property name and the other column is for property
value) and contains the names and values of all the properties of your
business object. You could then bind the DataGridView to the DataTable.

When you'd like to update the data in the DataGridView, you could just
update the data in the DataTable, and data binding will update the data in
the DataGridView automatically.

Hope this helps.
If you have anything unclear, please feel free to let me know.
