hi,

C#

StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("mydb.txt");
            while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != "")
            {
                split = line.Split('\t');
                lst.Add(new info { Name = split[0].ToString(), Address = split[1].ToString() });
            }
var btncol = new DataGridViewButtonColumn();
            {
                btncol.HeaderText = "";
                //btncol.Text = lst.Select(c => c.Name);????????
                btncol.UseColumnTextForButtonValue = true;
                btncol.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCells;
                btncol.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat;
                btncol.CellTemplate.Style.BackColor = Color.Honeydew;

Solution 1

int i = 0;
lst.Foreach( s => {
var btncol = new DataGridViewButtonColumn();
{
btncol.HeaderText = "";
btncol.Text = lst[i].Select(c => c.Name).FirstOrDefault();
btncol.UseColumnTextForButtonValue = true;
btncol.AutoSizeMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnMode.AllCells;
btncol.FlatStyle = FlatStyle.Flat;
btncol.CellTemplate.Style.BackColor = Color.Honeydew;
btncol.DisplayIndex =3;
}

dgv1.Columns.Add(btncol);
i++;
});

thanks Mohammad but it has this error:

"'openweb.info' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'openweb.info' could be found"

"openweb" is my namespace and in my sample code info is a class:

class info
{
private string _name;
public string Name { set { _name = value; } get { return _name; } }
private string _adrs;
public string Address { set { _adrs = value; } get { return _adrs; } }

}
