Hi,
Problem - An extra column to the left (even with row headers disabled)
----------------------------------------------------------
Apologies if this posting is already in the newsgroup; but have changed to
40tude and can't see it in the newly dowloaded messages. It was originally
html (tut tut) so maybe it didn't register. I have tried a new xml file and
generated a new xsd file from it using xsd.exe and now the xml file
produces three columns. The first contains no data and the other two
contain the data in the xml file. So I am now getting 3 columns for 2 data
elements. Does the etiquette of this news group allow attachment of the xml
and xsd files?
----------------------------------------------------------
Original posting
I'm writing a winform app (as practice) that has as one of its features a
button that reads an xml file to a datagridview.
No matter what I do I get two columns instead of one.
(Now three instaed of two)
The "first column", I retrieve and place the text "Holy Cat" in its header
text. This column contains no data from the xml file.
The second (and now third) columns contain the correct data from the xml
file.
When clicked the "first column" is not shown as a column by the event
delegate; but the "second column" reports that it is column 1. and the
third column is reported as column 3.
Can anybody spot the bug in my code?
TIA
Regards
Mark
