How does one add a table in visual studio and manipulate the data in that table ie insert, update and delete. not SQL table??

Question

to create a gui app that has a table and some buttons that help to capture particular data(numbers) from text boxes and update the data in a table. I would also like to do some arithmetics on the data in the table. thanks

Answer 1

Depending on your needs, I'd say DataTable or create a class to store the information and store instances of that class in a collection such as List<MyClass> or Dictionary<KeyClass, MyClass>. Be careful when using a custom class as a dictionary key. Use a base system type if possible.

Answer 2

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought you meant a table to store the information, not for display. I am not familiar with blend unfortunately. But in Wpf you can create a datagrid on the form and bind it to a datatable. I'm on my phone so no samples right now.

Answer 3

I do not understand...please could u make that clear??? I am using blend with visual studio and there should be a table control there ..what code do I use to allow more update the table using a button control

Answer 4

could u please throw more light on the data table and maybe a code sample for updating inserting and deleting from that table. Thanks

Answer 5

maybe you could help me with those lines of code when you do switch to your pc. I would be most grateful.

Answer 6

the blend is just helping me avoid most of the coding I would be doing on visual studio ...asides that it does nothing else I know of. hope you wouldn't mind if u asked how I would bind that data grid to a data table.
