Question

I have an entity of a class with many properties and want to implement a GUI to edit their values. It works fine with a DataGridView, but as I only have one instance of the class and many properties the DataGridView becomes very wide and has only one row.

I tried to flip the DataGridView using this: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/19313/Displaying-Vertical-Rows-in-DataGrid-View

However, once flipped, the DataGridView seems to discard any changes I make to the data. How can I make it possible to edit the data in flipped mode?

Was it helpful?

Solution

It sounds like you really should be using PropertyGrid since you have one instance of the class and many properties.

OTHER TIPS

I realized the DataGridView is not the correct thing to use when trying to edit properties. Instead I found the PropertyGrid, which seems to do exactly what I was trying to accomplish, and even supports categories.

Edit: Oh, too late
