I am trying to set the selectedindex
for my datagridviewcomboboxcell
through cellvaluechanged
event,i.e when i change some value in my datagrid row, this column should get automatically changed. here's the code.
Private Sub DataGridView1_CellValueChanged(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellValueChanged
Try
If Me.DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(2).Value.ToString <> Nothing Then
Me.DataGridView1("unit_code", e.RowIndex).Value = "1"
MsgBox(Me.DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(6).Value)
End If
Else
Exit Sub
End If
End If
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Message", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)
End Try
my datagridview is bound to dataset. Searched many sites and did all research, got the above solution where we need to set the valuemember
to .value
part. Even after doing that it givessystem.formatexception:datagridviewcomboboxcell value is not valid
.
Please help me.

A DataGridViewComboBoxCell
has no SelectedIndex
or SelectedValue
property.
You can set the value directly like this:
CType(Me.DataGridView1("unit_code", e.RowIndex), DataGridViewComboBoxCell).Value = "your value string"
Or using the index of the items collection: (this works only if you have not set ValueMember
and DisplayMember
properties)
Dim combo As DataGridViewComboBoxCell
combo = CType(Me.DataGridView1("unit_code", e.RowIndex), DataGridViewComboBoxCell)
combo.Value = combo.Items('your index')
You can also check a value for nothing like this:
If Not Me.DataGridView1.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(2).Value Is Nothing Then
'Your code
End If
