how to add table in windows form

Hi,

 

Why you don't want to use DataGridView. It provides so many properties and methods through which you can easily display your data from database to your windows form. Is there any specific reason? If not i will suggest you to use DataGridView Control.

 

You can display data on your form using ListView Control in table format.

 

-Set ListView View to Details.

-Add Columns in your ListView.

-Set GridLines to true.

 

 
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("connectionstring");
SqlDataAdapter ada = new SqlDataAdapter("select * from TableName", con);
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
ada.Fill(dt);

for (int i = 0; i < dt.Rows.Count; i++)
{
DataRow dr = dt.Rows[i];
ListViewItem listitem = new ListViewItem(dr["Column1"].ToString());
listitem.SubItems.Add(dr["Column2"].ToString());
listitem.SubItems.Add(dr["Column3"].ToString());
listitem.SubItems.Add(dr["Column4"].ToString());
listView1.Items.Add(listitem);
}
