How about a TextBox? You can make it readonly if you need to, it can handle multiple lines, and you can cut'n'copy from it if you need to.

can i show text like we show on console using console.writeline n also some values frm database at the same time?

OriginalGriff 17-Jun-11 14:28pm

Yes, but it depends what you are trying to use it for. If you want to display a bunch of text that you retrieve once, and that never changes, then a multiline TextBox could be a good choice.
If you want to display a log, then a TextBox is bad - it will get slower and slower as you add more entries (Just line a console does!)

i wanna display this
Item Code 555551
Design RM-4
etc
left column remains same but right column changes.
theses entries will be less than or equal to 11

In which case I would something grid organised: How about a DataGridView: It doesn't have to be databound and it would handle that pretty easily.

oki i will try n then let u know

Sweety Khan 20-Jun-11 3:10am

i tried datagrid view, its all wht i want but can i show columns vertically? plz tell me

OriginalGriff 20-Jun-11 3:46am

Sorry? I don't understand what you are asking. A DataGridView always displays rows of columns: which is what your example shows: two columns, with n rows.

Sweety Khan 20-Jun-11 3:52am

oki. i wanna show exactly in wht format i wrote above but here consider item code n design as columns n 55551 and RM-4 is a single row.is it possible?

OriginalGriff 20-Jun-11 3:57am

Yes: since you are assembling your data from a variety of sources rather than direct from a DB, you can do what you like with it! It is (pretty much) just a case of turning round the rows and columns.
Though I would be tempted to use the "Item Code" and "Design" values as column headers instead...

Sweety Khan 20-Jun-11 4:03am

i m doing this bc every time there will be 11 columns n just 1 row. plz tell me how to turn round

OriginalGriff 20-Jun-11 4:10am

Wherever you are currently creating two columns, create 11. Wherever you are loading the data into 11 rows, load it into the 11 columns of a single row instead. Without your code, it is not possible to be more exact.

Sweety Khan 20-Jun-11 4:27am

im not creating, it is already created in database. this is my code
string p_code = P1.Text;
string p_design = P2.Text;
SqlDataAdapter pgrid = new SqlDataAdapter("Select * From Product Where Item_Code = @p_code OR Design = @p_design", connection_v);
pgrid.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@p_code", @p_code);
pgrid.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@p_design", @p_design);
DataTable pt = new DataTable();
pgrid.Fill(pt);
dgv_p.DataSource = pt;

this is working fine n its outpout is like this
Item Code Design ...........
55555 RM-5

ut i want output like this
Item Code 55555
Design RM-5
.

Ah! You need to look at a Pivot table - I'm not good with those, so I suggest you start a new question and someone who does know can help!

Sweety Khan 20-Jun-11 4:48am

OriginalGriff 20-Jun-11 4:49am
