How can you delete a DataGrid item row? I found a couple threads on
how to hide the row (using MyDataGrid.Items(n).Visible = False). This
does work, but I need to physically remove the information from the
grid, not just hide it. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Eric

The datagrid retrieves its data from the underlying datasource which is
usually a dataset. The simplest way is to just remove the row in the dataset
and rebind the datagrid. If it is not in the dataset, it cannot possibly
show up in the datagrid. You would need to first find the row to be deleted
(from the selecteditem) and just do a find on the dataset and use the delete
property of the dataset row to clean out the dataset.

Thank you, Alvin...a perfect, simple suggestion. (Why didn't I think of that!?)

Thanks again,

Eric

This was my first thought also, but what is the syntax for finding the
row in the datasource? I get as far as:

ds.Tables["dt"].Rows.Remove(what goes here?)

Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

the argument takes a datarow object
here is a quick example

DataRow foundRow = myDataRowCollection.Find(lblID.Text)
if(foundRow != null)
myDataRowCollection.Remove(foundRow)
