dvQueue = New DataView(modMain.objClsDSTMW.dsTransferManager.transferManagerFile, "fFileStatus<>'Success' and fFileStatus<>'Cancelled'", "fFilePriority ASC", DataViewRowState.CurrentRows)
        dgQueue.DataSource = dvQueue


the datagrid is bound to a dataset's datatable and teh table is updated via another thread in the process... this causes the above exception... the thread updates the dataset at times may be 100 times a second.. so hwo do I work arround this.

I heard of the beginudpate endupdate event but unsuccessfull in finding how to implement it.
also how to show only a few columns necessary and how to change their header.

thanks

Are you running the : dgQueue.DataSource = dvQueue
100 times a second ?

It could be that the a thread is trying to run the code whilst already in use by another thread.

I would try locking the statment to see if it makes any difference.

ie ....

SyncLock Me
  dvQueue = New DataView(modMain.objClsDSTMW.dsTransferManager.transferManagerFile, "fFileStatus<>'Success' and fFileStatus<>'Cancelled'", "fFilePriority ASC", DataViewRowState.CurrentRows)
  dgQueue.DataSource = dvQueue
End SyncLock

Hope it helps !

ASKER

but it is not binding teh grid 100 times a second... remeber its a windows form...
does the code work if you dont do it 100 times a second?
Yes, I'm confused now as to whats running 100 times. If its not the code above what is it ?
You have a bug, its probably due to pressing teh keys in teh wrong order.
can you post the code of the thread you said you use to update the table? and in which part of your code do you call the thread, is it inside any event of the datagridview?
alrit folks.... here's teh deal..
it was because of multiple threads I started fromt he TICK.

I got rid of that... now I have another problem... I get a BIG RED X on my DG when it updates.

I'll be looking it up online, if you can find it before I do... the points are yours.... else there will be a split for the effort.

-Smit.
have you found it? post the complete code for the form, can you?
there was no real fix for the problem.
Ended up decreasing the update speed on my datagrid by slowign down the process and Decreased the number of threads.

I did use this link http://www.sturmnet.org/blog/archives/2005/03/23/red-x/ as reference for some backup...

I'll leave the question open till I'm done with the project.
If anyone can find any solution I'd greatly appreciate it

Thanks
