When loading a windows datagrid in my windows form I am only binding the datasource to the datagrid:

//bind the DataSet to the Windows data grid
dataGrid1.DataSource = il.InvoiceData;

However, my question is: it would appear that by default the datagrid loads with the opportunity for a user to ADD a new record. I DO NOT WANT TO SHOW a NEW ROW. How can I eliminate this row? FYI--I cannot make this a readonly datagrid because one of my columns is a checkbox whereby they can delete the record but I do not want the user to add and/or edit from this datagrid, if that makes sense.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I got this bolded code from a colleague however I am getting an error when I put this code after I've binded the dataset to the Windows datagrid:

//bind the DataSet to the Windows data grid
dataGrid1.DataSource = il.InvoiceData;
this.BindingContext[dataGrid1.DataSource, dataGrid1.DataMember];
((DataView)il.List).AllowNew = false;

Any suggestions? The errors that I am getting are:

Only assignment, call, increment, decrement, and new object expressions can be used as a statement

'InvoiceManager.InvoiceList' does not contain a definition for 'List'

Hi there,

You can use a DataView to disable AddNew. Drag a DataView component on your form. Bind your data to it's Table property. Then set AllowNew to false:

dataView1.AllowNew

Finally, bind the DataView to your Grid:

dataGrid1.DataSource = dataView1;


Cheers,
