Using DataGridView to edit a DataTable

Using DataGridView to edit a DataTable

I'm learning how to use a DataGridView to edit a DataTable. I have the DataTable set as the source. The EditMode is set to EditOnKeyStrokeOrF2.

Beginner's question - do I need to write the code to allow editing and updating? If so, what is the EditMode for?

If I run the code so far I see the data from the table but clicking any cell does not enter Edit mode.

Know the answer? Post it — somebody with the same question will find it here.

It is the same account you read, post and publish with — and you will come straight back to this page.

Thanks, Sachin. All correct in my code, the problem is that the DataGridView doesn't go into Edit mode, whether with F2, double clicking or anything else.
Srinivasan, that link is aspx, I'm in WinForms.

see, if you have set the DataGridView like this
this.dataGridView1.EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditOnKeyStrokeOrF2;
then Editing begins when any alphanumeric key or F2 is pressed while the cell has focus.
if you want to edit by clicking, then simply double click on cell.
