Hi,

datagridview dgv is populated from a datatable dt.

One of the fields in dt i.e. field3 which is not null in the database table is hidden in the dgv. In the dgv itself, I can add a new row but the system wants me to add a value for the field3 because it is not null in the database table.

Question:
Is it possible to add a dummy value to this field3 even though it is hidden so that when it does not complain about having to add a new value to field3?

Thanks

You could set a default value to the datatable before binding it.

Here is the MSDN info on default values:
