Can't refresh datagridview with bindingsource

J T

Goal:
Once clicking on add or delete button, the datagridview should be refreshed with the latest data from document.

Problem:

The datagridview can't be refreshed after making changes by deleting or adding new data.

I'm using binding source that is linked with datagridview's datasource.

I tried everything with different solution and read advise from different forum but still I can't solve this problem.

I also tried using these syntax "BindingSource.ResetBindings(false)", "BindingSource.Refresh()" etc but no result.

Yes, I usually also suggest looking at all the other useful articles in this web site. I guess that my main point is that Microsoft has provided tools that can make things quite easy and J T is using samples that do things using detailed code that probably does not have benefits for simple requirements.

You need to update the table and since it is not working I assume you are not updating the table. It must be the same copy of the table as is in the Binding Source. If you delete and insert rows in the DataGridView bound to the table, then DataGridView is automatically updated so I assume that is not the problem. Unfortuantely you are dwelling on the question of how to refresh or reset the Binding Source and not providing the information that is more likely to help us help you.

Have a look at my Database Table Update in a DataGridView without Writing Code. I think that will get you going in a more relevant direction.
