Help. Getting exception when I rebind grid to another dataset and change column names

[comicrage]

Hi,

I am using a datagrid and two dataset with different data. Both views of the grid contains 5 columns. I toggle between two different views of the grid which display different types of data. When I toggle, I change the last 3 columns to different name and bind a different dataset. When I startup the application, the first dataset when I click on any empty cells, it works find. However, when I switch for the first time to the alternative dataset and change the name, it will throw an exception


Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than th esize of the collection.
Parameter name: index


When I keep the column names the same between the two grid views, it works fine. However, I need to change the column names to indentify the column type of data.

Any help is appreciated.

I tried this code and it worked fine:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("T1", typeof(int)));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("T2", typeof(string)));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("T3", typeof(double)));
    dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
}

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("X1", typeof(string)));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("X2", typeof(string)));
    dt.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("X3", typeof(int)));
    dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
}

If you are changing the data grid columns, I would try with first setting the data source to null, then change columns, then set the new data source.
