row counter

[Doug]

Hi

I have a data grid view that returns values from a sql lookup.
At the bottom of the area that displys the datagridview, I have a label
called rowCount that displays the number of rows returned, but when ther
datagridview returns no values the first line in the datagridview has a '*'
on the left column and the counter claims this has one row.
string rowCount=dgMainView.RowCount.ToString();



Is there a better way to determine the number of rows returned to a
datagridview?



Thanks



Doug

Hi Doug,

Get the count from the actual DataSource, which I assume is a DataTable:

string rowCount = lookup.Rows.Count.ToString();

The * means that row is for adding a new record... configure your datagrid
to not allow new records (unless you need to of course) and that row should
go away.

If I am understanding you correctly that is.....

Thanks Dave,

Works well.

Do you know if it is possible to prevent the datagridview from displaying
the additional row at the bottom line?

my datagridview is populated with dgMainView.DataSource =
DS.Tables["vars"].DefaultView;

Thanks

Hi Doug,

Set AllowUserToAddRows to false.
