how to print row number in row header of a datagrid

Here's a code snippet I just worked out this afternoon which should produces visible row numbers:

---

int hpadding = 40;
Graphics graphic = gridview.CreateGraphics();
gridview.RowHeadersWidth = (int)graphic.MeasureString(gridview.RowCount.ToString("N0"), gridview.Font).Width + hpadding ;
graphic.Dispose();
gridview.RowHeadersDefaultCellStyle.Alignment = DataGridViewContentAlignment.MiddleRight ;
foreach (DataGridViewRow dr in gridview.Rows)
{
    dr.HeaderCell.ValueType = System.Type.GetType("System.String");
    dr.HeaderCell.Value = (dr.Index + 1).ToString("N0");
}

---

I hope it helps.

(warning: I'm really a VB.Net kind of guy, so this may not be an optimal solution)

Try this code..................
private void dataGridView1_RowValidated(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
DataGridView Gview = sender as DataGridView;
if (null != Gview)
{
Gview.Rows[e.RowIndex].HeaderCell.Value = Convert.ToString(dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Index+1);

}
}

hi....
can you please give me the code?

Hi Resmy,
You can inherit DataGridViewRowHeaderCell and override it's Value member to be equal RowIndex + 1
You will need to set HeaderCell of every row to your custom type. You can do that in RowsAdded event of the DataGridView

Please mark this post as an answer if it helps you

hi friend...
I need to print in the row header itself...
is there any alternate solution for that?

hey there,
one possible way is to add a column at position 0 of datagrid and
setting its value to rowindex+1 at RowAdded event.
