VB.net Binding DataGridViewComboBoxCell to Enumeration
I have the following code to define and set up my enumeration which I want to bind to a datagridviewcomboboxcell
I then use this routine to bind the enumeration to the datagridviewcomboboxcolumn
My question is:
I am using VB 2010 Express edition and whenever I select a value from any cell in the combo column, the DISPLAYED value always returns to Monday (notwithstanding that I may have chosen another day).
Is this because of the way I have defined my class and enumeration, or is there some setting I have to make in the datagridview itself?
PS. I use the class above as part of a bigger class that serializes to XML. Incidentally, all enumerations in that class (sisters of the above) behave in the same way when bound to a DataGridviewComboboxCell / Column.
<System.SerializableAttribute(), _
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute([Namespace]:="")> _
Partial Public Class WorkingDaysOfWeek
Private iDay As iWeekDay
<System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Form:=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified)> _
Public Property HELDINACCT() As iWeekDay
Get
Return Me.iDay
End Get
Set(ByVal value As iWeekDay)
Me.iDay = value
End Set
End Property
<System.SerializableAttribute(), _
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute([Namespace]:="")> _
Enum iWeekDay
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
End Enum
End ClassI then use this routine to bind the enumeration to the datagridviewcomboboxcolumn
Dim iSa As New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
With iSA
.DataSource = System.Enum.GetValues(GetType(WorkingDaysOfWeek.iWeekDay))
.Name = "Days"
.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat

It should have been obvious (having tested the code) that this was the solution, and it indeed is the solution.

Your code (should) work, however, it does not take into consideration of the "duo" purpose of my code request and question.
1. In the first place, the class serialize to XML (your suggested solution does not cater for that).
2. The second purpose is to have a working comboboxcell. My code above DOES produce a combocell bound to the enumeration (again as illustrated), however, there seems to be an issue with the displyed value (after selecting from the combo), which was my request for help (NOT INDEPENDENT OF THE SERIALIZATION!).
I may be missing something from your code, but may I request a more complete code sample with serialization included?
