The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How to adjust Datagrid column width from vb.net on Compact Framework

Asked by Pirie in Visual Studio, Pocket PC Other, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: , , , ,

I'm converting an Evb program for a Pocket PC to VB.Net. I'm using a standard VB.Net Datagrid with data from a Datatable (see code snippet).

My latest problem is to adjust the width each of the 2 columns of the Datagrid to exactly half of the width of the grid itself and the data alignment (to Left justified).

In Evb. it was as simple as  ccc.ColWidth(0)=nnn (see snippet). How can I easily do this in VB.Net?

' Set the number of grid columns
        'InfoGrd.Cols = 2
        Dim Dt As New DataTable("Items")
        Dt.Columns.Add("Veld", GetType(System.String))
        Dt.Columns.Add("Waarde", GetType(System.String))
        Dt.LoadDataRow(New Object() {"", ""}, False)
        Dt.LoadDataRow(New Object() {"", ""}, False)
        InfoGrd.DataSource = Dt.DefaultView
        InfoGrd.ColumnHeadersVisible = False
        InfoGrd.RowHeadersVisible = False
 
        '' Set the width of the grid columns taking into
        '' account the width of the vertical scroll bar (200 for PPC,
        '' 370 for HPC)
        'InfoGrd.ColAlignment(-1) = 1 'Left justify all cells
        'InfoGrd.ColWidth(0) = (InfoGrd.Width - 200) / 2
        'InfoGrd.ColWidth(1) = (InfoGrd.Width - 200) / 2
