Binding to collection property in DataGridView

flying_monkey posted on Tuesday, August 18, 2009

Hi,

I have a parent object that has a collection that is always only ever 3 or 4 records. I would like to show this collection property as a heading in the data grid view I am using to present my data. Then present the data by providing a string comma delimited list of the couple records in the collection.

Unfortunately when I try and add the column the property doesn't display in the add column window.

Does anyone know a work around to get the collection property in the parent object to display in the Add Column window?

Thanks

Databinding isn't setup to handle properties directly on a collection, so it just won't work. You can have code which manually updates the value, but databinding isn't an option here.
