Hi all,

Ok I'm starting a new post because I'm stuck. I have included code for a
test datatable
bound to a datagrid. I want after a row is deleted for the AutoIncrement to
start from the last number
there? Not skip numbers. Please help just copy and past over a new
project, the sample will create the controls.

thanks
Gerry

I'm not sure if you really need so feature. However, if you must, I
recommend to remove autoincrement and to make own autonumeration basing on
RowChanged event, for example:
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Friend MainSavedDataTable As New DataTable("Values")
Click to expand...

change to:
Friend WithEvents MainSavedDataTable As New DataTable("Values")

(...)
Dim i As Integer
Dim CntColumn As New DataColumn("Count")
CntColumn.DataType = GetType(Integer)
CntColumn.AutoIncrement = True
CntColumn.AutoIncrementSeed = -1
CntColumn.AutoIncrementStep = -1
Click to expand...

Remove AutoIncrement.

(...)

Add event handler:
Private Sub MainSavedDataTable_RowChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal
e As _
System.Data.DataRowChangeEventArgs) Handles
MainSavedDataTable.RowChanged
If e.Action = DataRowAction.Add Then
Dim newId As Integer = -1

If e.Row.Table.Rows.Count <> 0 Then
newId = Me.MainSavedDataTable.Compute("Min(Count)", "") - 1
End If
e.Row("Count") = newId
End If
End Sub

End Class
Click to expand...

I hope it helps.

Grzegorz
 
Thank You very much!!

Works Great!

I'm still curious why the AutoIncrement doesn't work right after a row is
deleted and then Acceptchanges is called

oh well, thanks again
Gerry
