Hi...
I have one datagridview in my windows form. That is filling data from database based on selected value in the combo-box. For some selected item there is record in the database. for some there is no records. At that time i need to maintain a fixed size datagridview with no records filled in it(minimum 10 record). if the number of record is less than 10 then i need to fill it with null rows to achieve the count of 10. Is there any way to do this. If yes please help me.. i tried to add null value row to the data-source of grid-view. but it causing some problems while processing the grid-view values.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SqlConnection con=new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=SA;Initial Catalog=bookStore;Integrated Security=True");
con.Open();
SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand("Select * from b", con);//("select title,author,genre from b",con);
SqlDataReader dr =com.ExecuteReader();
DataTable dt=new DataTable();
dt.Load(dr);
dataGridView1.DataSource = dt;
if (dataGridView1.Rows.Count < 20)
{
int r = 20 - dataGridView1.Rows.Count;
for (int i = 0; i < r; i++)
{
AddARow(dt);
}
}
dataGridView1.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.SkyBlue;
dataGridView1.AlternatingRowsDefaultCellStyle.BackColor = Color.White;

}
private void AddARow(DataTable table)
{

DataRow newRow = table.NewRow();

table.Rows.Add(newRow);
}

Hi,

After fetching the data from data base. Traverse the data for each combo selection and add if the count is less then 10 add more object into the list to reach count 10.
