C# refresh DataGridView when updating or inserted on another form

// Form A
public void loaddata()
{
    //do what you do in load data in order to update data in datagrid
}

then on Form B define:

// Form B
FormA obj = (FormA)Application.OpenForms["FormA"];

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    obj.loaddata();
    datagridview1.Update();
    datagridview1.Refresh();
}

DataGridView.Refresh and And DataGridView.Update are methods that are inherited from Control. They have to do with redrawing the control which is why new rows don't appear.

My guess is the data retrieval is on the Form_Load. If you want your Button on Form B to retrieve the latest data from the database then that's what you have to do whatever Form_Load is doing.

A nice way to do that is to separate your data retrieval calls into a separate function and call it from both the From Load and Button Click events.


For datagridview in C#, use this code

con.Open();
MySqlDataAdapter MyDA = new MySqlDataAdapter();
string sqlSelectAll = "SELECT * from dailyprice";
MyDA.SelectCommand = new MySqlCommand(sqlSelectAll, con);

DataTable table = new DataTable();
MyDA.Fill(table);

BindingSource bSource = new BindingSource();
bSource.DataSource = table;


dataGridView1.DataSource = bSource;
con.Close();

It works for show new records in the datagridview.
