c# add datagrid column for computed POOM appointment value

[None]

hi there,

i have a datagrid whose datasource is outlook.appointmenets.items. it
can display the appointmenet items as expected. however, i want the
datagrid to show an additional column (col3) displaying a computed
value. below is an example.

col1 col2 col3
start time1 end time1 subject1 + location1
start time2 end time2 subject2 + location2

can anybody tell me how to add col3 to the datagrid and make it show
(subject + location)?
i use c# and .net compact framework 2.0, thanks.

Override cell painting (supported starting NETCF V2 SP1) and draw whatever
you need in the cell.

thanks Ilya,
however the col3 is an "additional" column which is not in the
outlook.appointmenets.items collection. NETCF will not accept
DataGridTextBoxColumn.MappingName = "col3". is there any way to
insert / add a new column for col3?

thanks

You can't add columns without modifying underlying type which represents a
row.

But you can paint whatever you want in any existing column.

Say, you probably don't need "subject" and/or "location" columns, so display
"subject + location" in one of them.

thanks llya,

i have been trying exactly what you said. i calculate "subject +
location" and put the result back to column location and it look good.
