hello all
i have newly moved from webforms to winforms. My problem is I cant find an equivalent to a gridview's databind method in order to refresh the datasource. here is my scenario if it helps:
I have a datagrid that displays data from a table and a form that inserts a new record into the same table. what i want is when the user inserts a new record, it should directly show in the datagrid without the need of closing and re-opening the form to see the updated data
A fairly detailed guidance would be proffered and very appreciated
Many thanks :)

Datagridview uses http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridview.datasource.aspx[^] for binding, just the same.

Please understand the idea behind this

C#

//Make a common method to call one more times
void BindDataGridView()
{
    DataTable mydata = GetDataFromDatabase();//Get your data from database
    DataGridView1.DataSource = mydata;
}
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string insertQuery = "write your insert query";
    Dal.InsertData(insertQuery);//Insert your record to database
    BindDataGridView();//Again call your bind method to display inserted data in datagridview
}
