*****User Control Instance/DataGridView.Columns in Visual Studio Design

來源：http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/user-control-instance-datagridview-columns-visual-studio-design-t2893613.html

Hi Sorin,

Thank you for your feedback.

I am trying to implement a custom collection editor for the inner
DataGridView columns within a UserControl. The custom collection editor is
derived from CollectionEditor. The following is the code of the custom
collection editor.

using System.ComponentModel.Design;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class MyCollectionEditor:CollectionEditor
{
public MyCollectionEditor(Type type)
: base(type)
{ }

protected override Type CreateCollectionItemType()
{
return typeof(DataGridViewColumn);
}
protected override Type[] CreateNewItemTypes()
{
Type[] types = new Type[] { typeof(DataGridViewTextBoxColumn),
typeof(DataGridViewComboBoxColumn),
typeof(DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn),
typeof(DataGridViewButtonColumn),
typeof(DataGridViewImageColumn),
typeof(DataGridViewLinkColumn)};
return types;
}

protected override object CreateInstance(Type itemType)
{
DataGridViewColumn column =
itemType.GetConstructor(Type.EmptyTypes).Invoke(null) as
DataGridViewColumn;
return column;
}
}

We need to add an EditorAttribute on the inner DataGridView columns
property in the UserControl.

public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
[Editor(typeof(MyCollectionEditor),typeof(UITypeEditor))]
public DataGridViewColumnCollection InnerDGVColumns
{
get { return this.dataGridView1.Columns; }
}
}

Thus, I could edit the columns for the DataGridView within the UserControl
at design-time. However, the problem is that the designer doesn't serialize
the code of the columns of the DataGridView after I add some columns into
the DataGridView at design-time.

I am thinking of using CodeDomSerializer to get the columns serialized
correctly. Unfortunately, I haven't worked it out yet.

I will go on researching on this and will get it back to you ASAP. I
appreciate your patience.

Linda,
Can you send me the sample project.
