Freezing DataGridView rows

[duylam76]

I don't undertstand why the rows in my DataGridView aren't freezing
when I want them to.

When I create the DataGridView, I associate it with a DataTable and
then immediately set the first two rows to freeze. The rows don't
freeze. However, if I handle a button click and set the rows to freeze
in that button click, the rows successfully freeze. How, then, do I
freeze the rows immediately upon associating the table?

Here's some code:

******************

DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();

// Just add a bunch of columns
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
{
dataTable.Columns.Add("Col" + i.ToString(), typeof
(string));
}

// Add a bunch of rows to the DataTable, with some dummy
values
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
DataRow row = dataTable.NewRow();
for (int j = 0; j < 15; j++)
{
row["Col" + j.ToString()] = "Val" + i.ToString() +
"-" + j.ToString();
}
dataTable.Rows.Add(row);
}

gridView.DataSource = dataTable;

gridView.Rows[1].Frozen = true;

*************
This won't work. The rows are not frozen. However if I stick the
"gridView.Rows[1].Frozen = true;" line in a button event handler, it
works. How would I do this, then, without requiring an event trigger
from the user?

I see two solutions:

(1) Bind the data this way:
for (int i = 0; i < 15; i++)
{
DataGridViewTextBoxColumn c = new DataGridViewTextBoxColumn();
c.Name = "Col" + i.ToString();
gridView.Columns.Add(c);
}
gridView.Rows.Add(100);
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
for (int j = 0; j < 15; j++)
gridView.Rows.Cells[j].Value = "Val" + i.ToString() + "-" + j.ToString();
gridView.Rows[0].Frozen = true;

(2) Select frozen rows in this event:
private void gridView_DataBindingComplete(object sender,
DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
{
FrozeFirstRow();
}
