Add a custom class object to a datagridview cell in winforms
Jul 19 2015 2:10 PM
I am trying to add a custom class object e.g. "employee" to a datagridview cell. (Data Binding?)
Employee contains: int ID, string FirstName, string LastName. In the class, I use the public override string ToString() to display "FirstName LastName".
When I add the employee object to a DataGridViewTextBox cell, the employee FirstName LastName appears as predicted.
I am under the impression that because I was using a textbox cell only the tostring() value of my object is being stored as the value and not the entire object. I have added classes to comboboxes before and was able to bind to them when a specific object is selected and extract the ID to use.
Is there a way of creating a custom datagridview column that could store my entire class as a value to bind to it when clicked on? I am new to .NET and C#.
