DataGridView column order does not seem to work

Question

I have a DataGridView bound to a list of business objects:

Dim template As New IncidentTemplate
Dim temps As List(Of IncidentTemplate) = template.LoadAll
Dim         


        

Answer 1

The AutoCreateColumn is the problem. The following article gives an example for how to fix it.

From DataDridView DisplayOrder Not Working

When setting the column’s DisplayIndex in a data grid view, some columns were out of order. To fix the issue, I had to set AutoGenerateColumns to true before setting the data source, and to FALSE after.

For Example:

dgvReservedStalls.AutoGenerateColumns = True
dgvReservedStalls.DataSource = clsReservedStalls.LoadDataTable()
dgvReservedStalls.AutoGenerateColumns = False
