DataGridTableStyle.MappingName Property

  • Reference

Definition

Namespace:
System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:
System.Windows.Forms.dll

Gets or sets the name used to map this table to a specific data source.

public:
 property System::String ^ MappingName { System::String ^ get(); void set(System::String ^ value); };
public string MappingName { get; set; }
member this.MappingName : string with get, set
Public Property MappingName As String

Property Value

String

The name used to map this grid to a specific data source.

Examples

The following code example creates an array of Widget objects and binds a System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid control to the array. The code then creates a DataGridTableStyle and sets the MappingName to the name of the class plus brackets.


    void BindToArray()
    {
        // Create an array of Machine objects (defined below).
        array<Machine^>^ Machines = gcnew array<Machine^>(3);

        tempMachine->Model = "AAA";
        tempMachine->Id = "A100";
        tempMachine->Price = Convert::ToDecimal(3.80);
        Machines[0] = tempMachine;

        // The first Machine includes an array of Part objects.
        Part^ p1 = gcnew Part();
        p1->PartId = "PartX";
        Part^ p2 = gcnew Part();
        p2->PartId = "PartY";

        // Note that the Machines.Parts property returns an ArrayList.
        // Add the parts to the ArrayList using the AddRange method.
        tempMachine->Parts->AddRange(gcnew array<Part^> {p1, p2}); 

        tempMachine = gcnew Machine();
        tempMachine->Model = "BBB";

Remarks

To bind the DataGrid to a strongly typed array of objects, the object type must contain public properties. To create a DataGridTableStyle that displays the array, set the DataGridTableStyle.MappingName property to typename where typename is replaced by the name of the object type. Also note that the MappingName property is case-sensitive; the type name must be matched exactly. See the MappingName property for an example.

You can also bind the DataGrid to an ArrayList. A feature of the ArrayList is that it can contain objects of multiple types, but the DataGrid can only bind to such a list when all items in the list are of the same type as the first item. This means that all objects must either be of the same type, or they must inherit from the same class as the first item in the list. For example, if the first item in a list is a Control, the second item could be a TextBox (which inherits from Control). If, on the other hand, the first item is a TextBox, the second object cannot be a Control. Further, the ArrayList must have items in it when it is bound. An empty ArrayList will result in an empty grid. When binding to an ArrayList, set the MappingName of the DataGridTableStyle to "ArrayList" (the type name).

The default is the name of the list managed by the CurrencyManager for this grid. The CurrencyManager for the DataGridTableStyle is set using the DataGridTableStyle constructor.

The MappingNameChanged event occurs when the MappingName value changes.
