How do I change a Datagridview column type?

[Guest]

I am running an SQL query against a Teradata database that returns a datatype
of system.byte. When I map this to a datagridview using the datasource
property I receive errors as it tries to display the byte column as an image
type column. The message is "invalid parameter".

As the byte data is just a string of numbers, I would like to display it as
string data versus an image. How can I accomplish this?

Thank You.

Hi,

I think that you have to encode it in a seperate column.

AFAIK does the expression not have a solution for that, so you will have to
do that while busy, the first time by instance by looping and use the
system.encoding class

I hope this helps,
