Hi,
I am binding an arraylist to a datagrid in VB.Net. The arraylist contains objects of class data_container(see code below). These are the following features I need to incorporate:
1. Add and delete rows from the datagrid.
2. Be able to copy from an excel sheet to the datagrid. The program should be able figure out the number of rows that are being pasted and expand the datagrid accordingly.
Is datagrid the best approach to implement the above features? Due to existing design, I must use arraylists.
If so, how can I implement the above required features?
Also, when I display the datagrid, the fields are displayed in alphabetical order. For example, my fields are name, code and location and this is the order I want them to be displayed in the datagrid. However, the fields are displayed as code, location and name. How can I override this and display the fields in an order I want?
Thanks very much,
Pratibha
