DataGrid Display Question

[satcomengineer]

I am linking all of the columns of a database table to a dataset, binding the table to a datagrid, and using simple binding to bind individual fields to text boxes. However, in the datagrid, I would like to only display a small subset of the columns in the record so that a user can recognize and select the desired record. I don't see a convenient way to do this. The DataView appears to require display of all of the table's columns. Any suggestions?

The DEFAULT DataView will generate all columns. Create your own DataView using only the columns you want (why do you think they call it a VIEW?), then Bind the DataGrid to that. Creating a DataView[^] (.NET Developers Guide) Pay particular attention to the links at the bottom of the page.

You should charge into dataset ONLY the lines and columns of the database table you really need, in this way it should works fine. To do it you only need to filter them using a SQL query. I mean you shouldn't charge dataset directly from database, you should charge dataset using a SQL query, in this way you'll see into Datagrid only the lines and columns you need. I hope this help you.:-D

You were right. Thanks. It was right under my nose all the time.
