Constructors

DataGridView()

Initializes a new instance of the DataGridView class.

DataGridView(dataSource, onCellClick)

Initializes a new instance of the DataGridView class with a specified data source and an event handler for the CellClick event.

Name	Type	Description
dataSource	Object	The data source to be displayed in the DataGridView.
onCellClick	Action<Object, DataGridViewCellEventArgs>	An Action delegate to handle the CellClick event. Can be null.

DataGridView(location, size)

Properties

AllowSortingDataSource

Boolean: Returns or sets whether the DataGridView can automatically sort rows in the DataSource when the data is in an IList object. (Default: True)

When the DataGridView is data-bound, sorting is delegated to the DataSource when it supports sorting (see SupportsSorting). Otherwise, if the data is in an IList object and AllowSortingDataSource is true, Wisej swaps the rows in the data source. This behavior is different than WinForms, where sorting of the data source is always delegated to the data source and is otherwise ignored. Setting AllowSortingDataSource to false reverts to the same behavior as in WinForms.

AllowUserToAddRows

Boolean: Returns or sets whether the user can add new rows. (Default: False)

AllowUserToDeleteRows

Boolean: Returns or sets whether the user is allowed to delete rows from the DataGridView. (Default: False)

AutoSelectFirstRow

Boolean: EXPERIMENTAL: Returns or sets whether the first row or cell, depending on SelectionMode, is automatically selected when the grid is populated. Since 3.5.6 (Default: True)

You can change the default value across the application using the AutoSelectFirstRowDefault property or related AppContext switch.

AutoSelectFirstRowDefault
