BindingRelatedObjectsToDataGridView
When using the EntityFramework4.0 You can bind a DataGridView to related entities (linked entities) by using the DataBindingComplete event. For example (From Lerman, J. "Programming Entity Framework" O'Reilly. pp. 199-200):
1 private void reservationsDataGridView_DataBindingComplete(object sender, DataGridViewBindingCompleteEventArgs e)
2 {
3 DataGridView gridView = (DataGridView)sender;
4 foreach (DataGridViewRow row in gridView.Rows)
5 {
6 BAGA.Reservation reservation = (BAGA.Reservation)(row.DataBoundItem);
7 BAGA.Trip trip = reservation.Trip;
8 row.Cells[tripStartColumn.Index].Value = trip.StartDate.ToShortDateString();
9 row.Cells[tripEndColumn.Index].Value = trip.EndDate.ToShortDateString();
10 row.Cells[destinationColumn.Index].Value = trip.Destination.DestinationName;
11 }
12 }
