Avoid code duplication

Honey singh 20

Hi , i have a multiple datagridview's in my same project and they all have the same properties .

 DataGridview1.RowHeadersVisible = false;
            DataGridview1.CellBorderStyle = DataGridViewCellBorderStyle.None;
            DataGridview1.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None;
            DataGridview1.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
            DataGridview1.MultiSelect = false;
            DataGridview1.AllowUserToResizeColumns = false;

 DataGridview2.RowHeadersVisible = false;    
  DataGridview2.CellBorderStyle = DataGridViewCellBorderStyle.None;            DataGridview2.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None;          
  DataGridview2.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;            DataGridview2.MultiSelect = false;     
       DataGridview2.AllowUserToResizeColumns = false;

there all total about 20 datagridview's with different events but the above would remain same in all of them . So how do i avoid duplication .

Hi @Honey singh , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

Two quick and easy solutions.

One way is to use foreach to traverse your control list and assign these properties to all DataGridview2.

For example:

foreach (Control control in this.Controls) { if (control is DataGridView) { DataGridView dataGridView = (DataGridView)control; dataGridView.BackgroundColor = Color.Red; //...... } }

The second way is to use your own custom control.

Note that you need to inherit Datagridview.

The datagridview dragged out in this way will have the same properties.

Hi @Honey singh , Have you tried the second method I said, it's totally doable. This does not affect you to add additional events to them.

An extension method is an option e.g.

public static class DataGridViewExtensions
{
    public static void SetCommon(this DataGridView sender)
    {
        sender.CellBorderStyle = DataGridViewCellBorderStyle.None;
        sender.ScrollBars = ScrollBars.None;
        sender.SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect;
        sender.MultiSelect = false;
        sender.AllowUserToResizeColumns = false;
    }
}

Usage

dataGridView1.SetCommon();

@Karen Payne MVP , yes, yes. This is what i was looking. This method works also in the case where i have both datagridview and a customdatagridview so that i won't have a restriction to use a control of same type. Thanks a lot.
