Windows Forms Datagrid

[Dave Harrington]

Hello all -

I am very familiar with Web Forms and ASP.NET but I'm a novice with Windows
Forms. I have an access database with three columns: ID, ShortDesc, and
LongDesc. I'd like to display this table in a datagrid on a windows form.
I'd like the datagrid to be sortable (and preferably pageable), but I do not
want it editable, ie, I want it read-only.

If I set the enable property to 'False', the datagrid may no longer be
edited but the sort functionality no longer works. Can anyone offer some
advice or direct me to a resource?

Thanks in advance!

Dave

Hi,
You need to use DataView class to work with Sorting using its Sort property in conjunction with CurrencyManager class

for example, refer the following links:
