I am creating a table view where some info is given and the user gets a chance to add some additional info found in a Combobox.
Adding the normal text fields is no problem. But when I try to add the Combobox column I get the following error:
Error CS1503 Argument 1: cannot convert from >'System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewComboBoxColumn' to >'System.Data.DataColumn' test C:\Users\TomekJasinski\Documents>\Hello_world\test\test\Window1.xaml.cs 52 Active
private void populateGrid(List<String> str)
{
DataTable table = new DataTable();
DataColumn xCord = new DataColumn("X Cord", typeof(string));
DataColumn yCord = new DataColumn("Y Cord", typeof(string));
DataColumn rotation = new DataColumn("Rotation", typeof(string));
DataColumn partRef = new DataColumn("Part Reference", typeof(string));
DataColumn partNumb = new DataColumn("Part Number", typeof(string));
table.Columns.Add(xCord);
table.Columns.Add(yCord);
table.Columns.Add(rotation);
table.Columns.Add(partRef);
table.Columns.Add(partNumb);
DataGridViewComboBoxColumn dgvCmb = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
dgvCmb.HeaderText = "Name";
dgvCmb.Items.Add("Ghanashyam");
dgvCmb.Items.Add("Jignesh");
dgvCmb.Items.Add("Ishver");
dgvCmb.Items.Add("Anand");
dgvCmb.Name = "cbColumn";
table.Columns.Add(dgvCmb); // <- Error
foreach (string current in str)
{
string[] temp = current.Split(Convert.ToChar(","));
DataRow row = table.NewRow();
row[0] = temp[0];
row[1] = temp[1];
row[2] = temp[2];
row[3] = temp[3];
row[4] = temp[4];
table.Rows.Add(row);
}
dataGrid.ItemsSource = table.DefaultView;
}
You should add a System.Windows.Controls.DataGricComboBoxColumn
to the DataGrid
:
DataGridComboBoxColumn dgvCmb = new DataGridComboBoxColumn();
dgvCmb.ItemsSource = new List<string>
{
"Ghanashyam",
"Jignesh",
"Ishver",
"Anand"
};
dataGrid.Columns.Add(dgvCmb);
WPF isn't Windows Forms. In WPF, you generally define UI elements in XAML.
