GridView

GridViews require an indexed DataStore and a list of Columns with associated Cell handlers.

There are a number of available Cell handlers:

• CheckBoxCell
• ComboBoxCell
• ImageTextCell
• ImageViewCell
• TextBoxCell

When creating these, you should associate the Column they will be referencing either via index or property name.

The DataStore can be filled by constructing a DataStoreCollection. You should provide an enumerable of indexed arrays.

var collection = new DataStoreCollection( new List<string[]>() { {"a","b","c"}, {"d","e","f"} } );

To load data into a GridView from a System.Data.DataTable (as commonly provided by SQL sources),

var collection = new DataStoreCollection (dt.Rows.Cast<DataRow> ()
	.Select (x => x.ItemArray.Select (y => y.ToString ()).ToArray()));

var grid = new GridView () {
	DataStore = collection,
	ShowCellBorders = true
};

int i = 0;
foreach (var col in dt.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>()) {
	grid.Columns.Add (new GridColumn () { 
		DataCell = new TextBoxCell (i++), 
		HeaderText = col.ColumnName
	});
}
