How do you save data from an unbound datagridview in VB?

[JeffGoneMad]

Hi,

I'm kind of a newbie to VB, so I hope this doesn't seem too trivial. I
have a problem with the DataGridView control. I can find all kinds of
stuff about populating data in a DataGridView control, but I haven't
found a way to save the data on program exit. There must be a way,
after all, you can't expect people to re-input all the data every time
they use your program!

Any help is appreciated.

Write the code to save the data to a file.

Jeff,

What is the datasource?

If it is a dataset, you can update that in the database or write it to a
disk using

ds.writeXML("mypath.xml")

I hope this helps,
