asked on

Rename Column of DataGridView

I want to display a grid with the data from this sql query

SELECT * FROM invoices WHERE ddate >= curdate() - interval 180 day  AND equipment = 1 order by invoice_number desc

I think i have it working, however when i load the form in the program, I get an empty box.

I have attached the entire code

The columns i want are

invoice_number, ddate, company_name, and initials]

If possible, i would like the column names to be

Invoice Number, Date, Company Name and Initials

Just to make sure the connection works, i put a message box with the number of rows it found, and it returns the correct value.

I am just starting to learn vb.net so if the answer could explain as much as possible that would be a big help.

You can do this in the GridView's RowDataBound or RowCreated event. You just have to filter the RowType to make sure it's a Header.

The sample below is in C# if you don't mind.

protected void GridView1_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)

{

    if(e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.Header)

    {

        e.Row.Cells[0] = "Column Name";


    }


}

I didn't know  you could do that


You don't have to answer this, I can make another question but, How do you make a simple repeating region.  See, I am used to web design using dreamweaver.  If i wanted a table full of data, I would just drag the items from the bindings panel, and slap on a repeating region, and it would display all the records.  I am trying to find a way of doing that here, and I just can't seem to figure out how
Actually, it's very simple with VB2005. Go to the "Data Sources" tab, click "add new data source" and follow the wizard questions. There's a list of walkthroughs:
