Hi,
We have a datagridview in windows form which is bound to a collection of business object. One column(property) uses a sum of another column(property), e.g. percentage of total price:
$% = price/sum(price).
Can we use sth like custom business rule to calculate this property? How can we get the sum(price) in the business object class?
If not, do we have other way to achieve this?
Thanks.
You could implement a TotalPrice property in the collection object, and make sure to recalculate this property value on:
Then in the business rule in the child class, use the Parent property to access the collection where you can get the TotalPrice value.
Thanks. Parent works.
Another question: If I want to add a total row into the bottom of datagridview, because datagridview is bound to bindingsource, what's the best way to achieve this? I have some ideas:
1. insert another datagridview under primary datagridview;
2. is there any custom datagridview with footer?
3. Add total row into bindingsource's datasource when binding and remove it when updating?
.......
Thanks.
Some grids have builtin funtions for summary/total lines.
For others you may create a "fake line" with a total property shown below the grid.
I would try to not create e "fake" line in the list and try to keep in sync at bottom.
"Some grids have builtin funtions for summary/total lines."
Can you please provide some sample or link? Thanks.
I'm fairly certain most commercial 3rd party grids have this feature.
C1 FlexGrid supports Range Aggregates, http://www.componentone.com/superproducts/flexgridwinforms/
DevExpress XtraGrid support Totals and Group summary: http://devexpress.com/Products/NET/Controls/WinForms/Grid/
Infragistics WinGrid supports fomulas much like Excel. http://www.infragistics.com/dotnet/netadvantage/winforms/wingrid.aspx#Overview
just to mention a couple of grids.
Hi fredg,
there are even approaches to do such summary with the standard winforms datagridview:
