Hi All,

I have an Arraylist a1 which has different links
a1[0]= "https://abc.com/application.aspx"
a1[1]="https://abcd123.com/application.aspx"

How can i bind this to the Datagridview ...I tried the following

VB

Dim link As New DataGridViewLinkColumn
       link.UseColumnTextForLinkValue = True
       link.HeaderText = "Link"
       link.DataPropertyName = "Link"
       link.ActiveLinkColor = Drawing.Color.White
       link.LinkBehavior = LinkBehavior.SystemDefault
       link.LinkColor = Drawing.Color.Blue
       For i As Integer = 0 To a1.count-1
                 link.Text =a1.Item(i).ToString
                dgLinkUrl.Columns.Add(link)
      Next

This adds the same link a1[0] value 3 times. But i want a1[0],a1[1],a1[2] values...Please help.

First of all, ArrayList was rendered obsolete long time ago (as of v.2.0). Use System.Collections.Generic.List.

Hi SA,
You are correct, but I will give him benefit of doubt. An old application in maintenance mode ? ;)

Well, yes, ArrayList was not formally marked as obsolete, only because to allow legacy support which would work fine. However, in case of any software changes (which are apparently needed due to the problem reported), it's the best to migrate to a generic collection. It's just safer.

Thank you for your note.

that is not anywhere in your question!See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridviewlinkcolumn.aspx

I saw that link. But i was not sure how to set different link text to the same column. My code in the question would work perfectly if the link text is the same. But in my case it is different and i am not sure how to add each Link text to the DataGridViewLinkColumn...Hope u understand my question and help me out. Thanks a lot.
