hello,

I Have a Table in Database with some columns and when I bind that table to Datagridview using dataset I want a Combobox and CheckBox to some Columns of Dataset and Others are Text/String.

Also need to fire Events Of That Components.

How can I achieve it?

What I have tried:

I tried below code:
DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn colType = new DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn();
BindingSource wizardBindingSource = new BindingSource();
wizardBindingSource.DataSource = ds;
colType.HeaderText = "PMA";
dgvArtWork.Columns.Insert(8, colType);

but the problem is it inserts a new column but I already have that column in My Dataset i.e. in ds(Which I have used)

Here is an example that uses a BindingList, which can be adapted for database usage.
The BindingList uses this class:
C#
public class dgvClass1 : ICloneable
{
    /// <summary>
    /// priority is not a propery, so it is not visible in datagrid by default.
    /// </summary>
    public string priority;

    /// <summary>
    /// date is not a propery, so it is not visible in datagrid by default.
    /// </summary>
    public DateTime date;

    public int Number { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }

    public dgvClass1()
    {
        this.date = DateTime.Now;
        this.priority = "Medium";
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.object.memberwiseclone(v=vs.100).aspx
    /// </summary>
    public object Clone()
    {
        return (dgvClass1)this.MemberwiseClone();
    }
}


The Winform code:
C#

Thanks you RickZeeland for the solution. I got a solution earlier but now I'm stuck between event handling for a comboboxcolumn as I have two comboboxcolumn in a grid.

What I Have tried is:

private void dgvArtWork_EditingControlShowing(object sender, DataGridViewEditingControlShowingEventArgs e)
{
if (dgvArtWork.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 14 && e.Control is ComboBox)
{
ComboBox comboBox = e.Control as ComboBox;
comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged += adColumnComboSelectionChanged;

}
else if (dgvArtWork.CurrentCell.ColumnIndex == 16 && e.Control is ComboBox)
{
ComboBox comboBox = e.Control as ComboBox;
comboBox.SelectedIndexChanged += logoColumnComboSelectionChanged;

}
}

private void adColumnComboSelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var currentcell = dgvArtWork.CurrentCellAddress;
var sendingCB = sender as DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl;
DataGridViewComboBoxCell cel = (DataGridViewComboBoxCell)dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[16];
DataGridViewComboBoxCell celAD = (DataGridViewComboBoxCell)dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[14];
DataTable dsMaster = new DataTable();

string item = dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[5].Value.ToString();
string size = dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[6].Value.ToString();
string ad = sendingCB.EditingControlFormattedValue.ToString();
//string ad = dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[14].FormattedValue.ToString();

cn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter adp = new SqlDataAdapter("Select Logo from ArtWorkMaster where CustCode='" + txtCustCode.Text + "' and AD='" + ad + "' and item='" + item + "' and size='" + size + "'", cn);
adp.Fill(dsMaster);
adp.Dispose();
cn.Close();

for (int i = 0; i < dsMaster.Rows.Count; i++)
{
cel.Items.Add(dsMaster.Rows[i].ItemArray[0]);
}
}

private void logoColumnComboSelectionChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var currentcell = dgvArtWork.CurrentCellAddress;
var sendingCB = sender as DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl;
//DataGridViewComboBoxCell cel = (DataGridViewComboBoxCell)dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[18];
//DataGridViewComboBoxCell celAD = (DataGridViewComboBoxCell)dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[14];
DataTable dsMaster = new DataTable();

string item = dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[5].Value.ToString();
string size = dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[6].Value.ToString();
string ad = dgvArtWork.Rows[currentcell.Y].Cells[14].Value.ToString();
string logo = sendingCB.EditingControlFormattedValue.ToString();

cn.Open();
SqlDataAdapter adp = new SqlDataAdapter("Select Logo from ArtWorkMaster where CustCode='" + txtCustCode.Text + "' and AD='" + ad + "' and item='" + item + "' and size='" + size + "'", cn);
adp.Fill(dsMaster);
adp.Dispose();
cn.Close();
}

The problem is whenever I select a item from any combobox it fires both the event.

Please can you help we with it

Can't you use something like this:

private void dataGridView1_CellValueChanged(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
if (this.dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name == "Priority")
