Dear all,

I bounded combobox to the datagridview. This combobox takes its values from enum, like this:

C#

DataGridViewComboBoxColumn comboColumn = new DataGridViewComboBoxColumn();
comboColumn.DataSource = Enum.GetNames(typeof(Duration));
comboColumn.Name = "Duration";
comboColumn.DisplayStyle = DataGridViewComboBoxDisplayStyle.ComboBox;
dataGrid.Columns.Add(comboColumn);

Now I need to select a default item for each of the combobox in the datagridview, but it's not necessary to be the same item to all the combobox. How could I do that?

Thanks in advance.

You can use the DefaultCellStyle.NullValue and DefaultCellStyle.DataSourceNullValue properties of the combo box column. Code sample is:

C#

comboColumn.DefaultCellStyle.NullValue = "dataToStore";
comboColumn .DefaultCellStyle.DataSourceNullValue = "dataToStore";

I need to select different value for each combobox, not the same value for all the combobox.
Thanks
