Hi,

I'm using a DataViewManager to sort the children of parent-child
nested tables in a DataSet. The DataViewManager and DataGrid work
very well doing every thing that is needed, except...

The DataGrid needs to:

AllowDelete = false;
AllowNew = false;
AllowEdit = false;

On the base tables in the dataSet, I set those values using
"DefaultView".

I'm also using DataGridTableStyle and setting the columns to "ReadOnly
= true".

Neither helps. Is there a better way to control the, AllowDelete,
AllowNew and AllowEdit for a dataGrid on a DataViewManager?

My environment: .NET, framework 1.1, C#, windows forms.

Thanks in advance

I think you can subscribe to the DataGrid's Navigate event, get the
CurrencyManager there, and set the AllowNew property of the
CurrencyManager's List at that point. Below is some code.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DataTable parentTable = GetParentTable();
DataTable childTable = GetChildTable();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.Tables.AddRange(new DataTable[]{parentTable, childTable});

DataRelation parentToChild = new DataRelation("ParentToChild",
parentTable.Columns["parentID"], childTable.Columns["ParentID"]);

ds.Relations.AddRange(new DataRelation[]{parentToChild});

this.dataGrid1.DataSource = parentTable.DefaultView;
parentTable.DefaultView.AllowNew = false;

this.dataGrid1.Navigate += new
NavigateEventHandler(dataGrid1_Navigate);
}

private void dataGrid1_Navigate(object sender, NavigateEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Forward)
{
CurrencyManager cm =
(CurrencyManager)this.dataGrid1.BindingContext[this.dataGrid1.DataSource,
this.dataGrid1.DataMember];
((DataView)cm.List).AllowNew = false;
}
}
