Re: datagrid display when loading config file

Thank you Peter.
I also found a simpler approach to just load the timer interval from the
config file into a textbox for editing.
XmlDocument myConfig = new XmlDocument();
myConfig.Load("c:\\Service.exe.config");
string strXPath;
XmlNode oNode;
strXPath = "configuration/appSettings/add[@key='interval']/@value";
oNode = myConfig.SelectSingleNode(strXPath);
textBox1.Text = oNode.InnerText;

When you assign a DataSet to a Windows Forms DataGrid, the default
behavior
is to display the + sign. If you want the grid to show one table, bind it
just to the one table of the DataSet and it will display expanded.

With this code, the config file(listed below) opens initially into the
datagrid display with only a plus sign '+'.
On clicking that, it becomes expanded to;
-
appsettings
add

When I click on appsettings, it reverts back to '+' On clicking that,
- appsettings add is displayed
Finally, when I click on appsettings this time, the contents of the
config
file is displayed.
What is going on here? How could I have the config file load into an
already expanded state?
Thanks -Greg
