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.

Thank you!

How to bind DataTable to DataGridView in VB.Net

Asked by itstheride in VB Database Programming, Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: DataGridView, Data Table, Bind

I am learning VB.Net. I am trying to write some generalized code that I can use with any datagridview of "y" rows by "x" columns to which I am binding a bunch of string data.  In the code below, the MemoryTable seems to create and populate fine with "Test Data".  However, when I get to binding, that is what doesn't work.  When the application loads the DataGriewView is just all gray, with no data.  If I comment out the section under "Bind" the Data Grid View loads fine with all the rows and columns.  Binding just doesn't seem to work.   There must be something I am missing so that the binding happens and the datagrid is populated.  I have tried several variations of binding from several Google searches and all yield a blank, gray DataGridView with just the column headings, in this case 1-30.
