SetData Method

SetData(int, int, object, bool)

Assigns a value to a grid cell.

Declaration

public virtual bool SetData(int row, int col, object value, bool coerce)

Public Overridable Function SetData(row As Integer, col As Integer, value As Object, coerce As Boolean) As Boolean

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	row	Row index.
int	col	Column index.
object	value	Value to assign to the cell.
bool	coerce	Whether the value should be converted to the column's data type.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the value was assigned to the cell.

Remarks

If coerce is set to true and the value can't be converted into the proper data type, the grid will fire the GridError event and the cell will retain its original value.

Using SetData(int, int, object, bool) with coerce set to true is equivalent to setting the grid's indexer. For example, the following lines of code are equivalent:

flex.SetData(1, 1, "Hello", true);
flex[1, 1] = "Hello"; // same thing

SetData(CellRange, object, bool)

Assigns a value to a range of cells.

Declaration

public virtual bool SetData(CellRange rg, object value, bool coerce)

Public Overridable Function SetData(rg As CellRange, value As Object, coerce As Boolean) As Boolean

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
CellRange	rg	CellRange that specifies the cells that will be assigned a new value.
object	value	Value that will be assigned to all cells in the range.
bool	coerce	Whether the value should be converted to the column's data type.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the value was assigned to all cells in the destination range.

SetData(int, int, object)

Assigns a value to a grid cell, coercing the value into the cell's specified DataType.

Declaration

public virtual bool SetData(int row, int col, object value)

Public Overridable Function SetData(row As Integer, col As Integer, value As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	row	Row index.
int	col	Column index.
object	value	Value to assign to the cell.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the value was assigned to the cell, false if the value could not be assigned (usually because it could not be converted to the appropriate type).

SetData(CellRange, object)

Assigns a value to a range of cells, coercing the value into each cell's specified DataType.

Declaration

public virtual bool SetData(CellRange rg, object value)

Public Overridable Function SetData(rg As CellRange, value As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
CellRange	rg	CellRange that specifies the cells that will be assigned a new value.
object	value	Value that will be assigned to all cells in the range.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the value was assigned to all cells in the destination range, false if the value could not be assigned to all cells in the range (usually because it could not be converted to the appropriate type).

SetData(int, string, object, bool)

Assigns a value to a grid cell.

Declaration

public virtual bool SetData(int row, string colName, object value, bool coerce)

Public Overridable Function SetData(row As Integer, colName As String, value As Object, coerce As Boolean) As Boolean

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	row	Row index.
string	colName	Column name.
object	value	Value to assign to the cell.
bool	coerce	Whether the value should be converted to the column's data type.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the value was assigned to the cell, False otherwise.

Remarks

If coerce is set to true and the value can't be converted into the proper data type, the grid will fire the GridError event and the cell will retain its original value.

Using SetData(int, int, object, bool) with coerce set to true is equivalent to setting the grid's indexer. For example, the following lines of code are equivalent:

flex.SetData(1, "ColName", "Hello", true);
flex[1, "ColName"] = "Hello"; // same thing

SetData(int, string, object)

Assigns a value to a grid cell, coercing the value into the cell's specified data type.

Declaration

public virtual bool SetData(int row, string colName, object value)

Public Overridable Function SetData(row As Integer, colName As String, value As Object) As Boolean

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
int	row	Row index.
string	colName	Column name.
object	value	Value to assign to the cell.

Returns

Type	Description
bool	True if the value was assigned to the cell, False otherwise.
