C# DataGridView Database Operations

The DataGridView can display data in Bound mode, unbound mode and Virtual
mode . Bound mode is suitable for managing data using automatic interaction
with the data store. One very common use of the DataGridView control is binding
to a table in a database. Unbound mode is suitable for displaying relatively small
amounts of data that you manage programmatically. Virtual mode gives you a
higher degree of control by allowing you to wait until a cell is actually being
displayed to provide the value it will contain.

The following C# source code illustrate how to connect a DataGridView to a

database and new/update or delete the database values from DataGridView.

Cargar DataGridView mediante C# y SQL

Server
En esta oportunidad vamos a cargar un DataGrid mediante un DataTable y un DataSet, llenarlo desde una base de datos Sql Server.

Agregamos las librerias para la conexion:

using System.Data;

using System.Data.SqlClient;

// Creamos nuestra cadena para conectarnos a la base de datos

SqlConnection cn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=.\\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=tuTabla;Integrated Security=true;");

Opcion1:

//Aqui estamos mostrando los datos mediante un DataTable

private void btnCargar_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from tuTabla", cn);

SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);

DataTable dt = new DataTable();

da.Fill(dt);

dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;

cn.Close();

}
Opcion 2:

//Aqui mediante un DataSet

private void btnCargarDataSet_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from tuTabla", cn);

SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);

DataSet ds = new DataSet();

da.Fill(ds);

dataGridView1.DataSource = ds.Tables[0];

cn.Close();

Existe muchos metodos al momento de querer cargar una datagridview aqui tienen un metodo simple y eficaz que lo carga directamente
desde una tabla.
