How to have a datalist(asp.net) type of feature in WinForms as I am doing conversion of a website into Windows application(Note: I am a fresher). e.g. after getting a datatable having details of controls (e.g textboxes checkboxes) parsed to a datalist. It uses "findcontrol" feature of webcontrols and bind the controls to the gridview (website). But I can't predict the working code for win app.

In short I need to bind in a datagridview the controls(e.g checkboxes,textboxes) rather than designing in the forms because there are as many as 100 controls in a form and so I need to bind them from the database.

I don't know how to explain it so please check the image I uploaded which shows how my website grid is bounded with controls from the database.

The Winforms DataGridView can be customized to show checkboxes, dropdowns etc., but your requirement seems to include custom layout changes too which may be too much with the DataGridView. If you don't want to fully move to WPF, you might at least want to just write this one control in WPF and then interop with that from Winforms (it will not be trivial, but it will not be too hard either).

On the other hand, if this is a commercial app you are working on, it may make good money-sense to buy the DevExpress XtraGrid which includes a Card View feature which should do what you are expecting (each row would be a card, and you'd configure the card view to look like your screenshot). Even with the XtraGrid it will be some work but it may be far easier than tweaking the DataGridView directly. They do have a trial so you could try it out before deciding if you need to buy it or not.

Solution 1

I think that to reproduce anything like your image would require you to use WPF[^], rather than WinForms.

Unfortunately WPF doesn't have a GridView so there would have to be some compromise. Perhaps using a heavily customized ListView or just the Grid control.

I do not think that you need a datagrid, I think that what you are looking for is dynamic creation of controls.
Ie for each control you have in your datatable you have code that looks something like this:

Text1 = New TextBox();
        // set up the left and top position (the same as changing the location in the IDE)
        Text1.Left = 100;
        Text1.Top = 100;
        // put an initial value for the text in the box
        Text1.Text = "Hello, I'm new to this form";
        // add the newly created control to the form
        this.Controls.Add(Text1);

Example taken from http://hubpages.com/hub/Creating-C-controls-on-the-fly[^]
There are loads of examples on dynamic control creation on the web.

Of course you would have to use some kind of a variable to set the Left and Top Properties.

I hope this helps.
