Is there a way to prevent dataGridView to move to the next row after editing the cell? It happens after EndEdit event, so handling EndEdit doesn't help.
Tnx in advance

Did you try saving the current cell address while editing and on the KeyDown event handler go back to the address you saved?? just a thought

Yes, the problem is that currentCell is moved after CellEndEdit event. I can reposition current cell back to coordinates I want in CellEndEdit event, but something after that happens in DataGridView that moves currentCell one field down, and I simply can't find out where it is happening.

C++ but applied equally, if not more so to C#...
On a recent contract I added a
<br />
using MynameSpace.MyStuff <br />
to the header and proceeded to use my classes. I got a roasting for the using 'using'. Some nobby quote like "If god had meant for us to use 'using' he wouldn't have given us namespaces'. I can see how 'using' can stop the prevention of name collision, but it does help in the speed of development.
<br />
System.Drawing.Color myColor1 = System.Drawing.Color.Red;<br />
System.Drawing.Color myColor2 = System.Drawing.Color.Green;<br />
System.Drawing.Color myColor3 = System.Drawing.Color.Blue;<br />
or
<br />
using System.Drawing;<br />
<br />
Color myColor1 = Color.Red;<br />
Color myColor2 = Color.Green;<br />
Color myColor3 = Color.Blue;<br />
Does anybody have any tips / hints /preferences when 'using' is ok, and when to use fully qualified types. Do you use 'using' for the framework and fully qualified for your own? A mixture of both?

I would use 'using' anywhere that I am going to use an object from that namespace more than once. Seriously, anyone who tells you otherwise is a moron. This isn't C++, where namespace std contains pretty much everything, .NET namespaces are much smaller.

Yes, therefore figuring out what namespace some Widget is in without resorting to Visual Sudio is very difficult, a fully-qualified name avoids the problem.

No, it doesn't. Perhaps if you're using intellisense to *search* for something, and elect to have to search *again*, rather than turn it into a using statement. I rarely find that I have to look, I know where most things I use are.

Oh, yes, you know where the things you use are, but I might not. And snippets posted on here rarely include the using directives.
In a team environment, or one with consultants coming and going, the standard should be to never use the using directive.

I would expect members of my team to figure out which namespace something is in fairly easy. Visual Studio 2005 makes it even easier because the smart tag will pop up asking if you want it to create the using statement or make it fully qualified.
And if they are a consultant then I would most definitely expect them to be able to figure these things out or I'll be telling them where the door is.

I should add. The only time it is acceptable to use the fully qualified name is when the compiler needs it because two classes with the same name, but different namespaces, are defined.
I realise that some of the code generated by the designer will insert fully qualified names, but I just leave that be because I don't touch that code.

Don't forget in that situation you can use: using LameString = SomeThirdParty.String;

Personally, I always use "using", even if I declare one instance from it & only use the fully resolved namespaces when disambiguating. Being roasted for doing otherwise is pretty stupid. I've been coding in c# since the heady early days of .net 1.0 in Jan 2001 and have never run into problems using "using", other than needing to use phrases like "using 'using'"  .
If god had meant for us to write pointlessly ugly code like System.Drawing.Color my color = System.Drawing.Color.Red, he would never have sent us IDEs.

Aren't you contradicting your self :-
Use using when you want to declare create only few instance of the variable
and
use using statement when you have to use it many times.

Ahem, Visual Studio is clearly not from God.
And even if so, why then doesn't VS automagically add using directives as you type? Such that if I type System.Diagnostics.StackFrame it could remove the System.Diagnostics. and add using System.Diagnostics at the top.

It pops up a smart tag and asks you what you want to do. There may be situations where you need the full name to disambiguate. It may not know which namespace to use if the class name is used in two separate namespaces, one of which you may not be interested in.
PIEBALDconsult wrote: Such that if I type System.Diagnostics.StackFrame it could remove the System.Diagnostics. and add using System.Diagnostics at the top.
Because it doesn't know if that's what you really want. You may be planning to use another class called StackFrame elsewhere in your code but from a different namespace.

Indeed, so don't use the using directive.

I always use using because it makes it easier to read the code and better for printing out code. I find having the fully qualified route as too much typing even though it is pretty descriptive.

If Microsoft didn't intend for us to use using, the templates in Visual Studio wouldn't contain a dozen of them.
I usually remove the using statements for namespaces that I don't use at all, but that's only because I don't want them there. A using statement doesn't add anything at all to the compiled code, so it doesn't hurt anything at all to have them there.
To always specify the complete namespace only makes the code harder to read. (It's also more to type, but that's not really a good argument, as the actual typing is a rather small part of the programming.)

sure, try removing the first line "#using System;" that will be interesting!

That's the first thing I do when VS creates a new file for me.
I've even made some effort to alter the templates to save myself from having to do that.

Hi,
I was under the impression things would not work at all without "using System;"
i.e. I thought the compiler would then be unable to map "int" to "System.Int32"
but clearly it can and does, without any "using System;"
Thanks for bringing that to my attention.
I have the habbit of removing usings I don't need, such as
System.Collections.Generic when I don't need any generic stuff.
but I use using statements all the time, and I tend to add a comment mentioning
the first Class that caused me to include the using statement.
For me the shorter form is the better one, for it improves readability.
But I can imagine situations where lots of namespaces would be required,
and then things could become hard to understand without full qualification.
The only such situation I encountered so far is about timers, having at least three
different classes called Timer in the Framework.
Greetings

(That would be all of them.)
The using directive adds nothing to the language; it only enables the programmer to type less.
It's kinda like goto, except goto may actually be needed in some very rare cases. (Keeping in mind that C# needs goto to simulate fall-through in switch statements.)

The using directive is merely a crutch for inexperienced programmers (hence its use in templates and other pieces of bad code). The only time I use a using directive is to make an alias of a very long namespace (and then very rarely).
I very much dislike seeing a snippet of code (perhaps posted on here) that refers to some Widget, and I have no idea where that type of Widget came from.
Or someone answering a question by saying, "You should use a Widget." -- without saying where the blasted thing resides!
Always use a fully-qualified name and you'll never be misunderstood.
Were I in charge, the using directive would be the first against the wall.
