We want to add an employee entry to the top of the SfDataGrid.

I want to add an employee entry programmatically at the top without using a data source.

Wpf examples can be found, but winforms examples are hard to find.

I would like some sample code.

thank you.

Hi Smart, 

 

Thank you for using Syncfusion controls. 

 

We can able to add the records programmatically at top of the SfDataGrid by using SfDataGrid.View.Records, please refer the below code example 

 

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) 

{ 

    var record = sfDataGrid.View.CreateRecordEntry(new Employee(false, "Tamer", "Manager", "[email protected]", "US", "Perfect", 4, "High", 2000, 20000, "1029 - 12th Ave. S.", "Male")); 

    sfDataGrid.View.Records.Insert(0, record); 

}

Thank you for answer. If you run your example, there is a problem.

The problem is that when you click on the column head to reorder it, all the records you added will be lost.

Hi Smart, 

 

We regret for the inconvenience caused. 

 

We have analyzed your query to add new row programmatically without using data source. We suspect that you do not want to insert rows into the underlying collection and this requirement can be achieved by adding unbound rows. Please refer to the below UG links to know more details on Unbound rows

Can you please confirm whether you are adding rows programmatically in WPF SfDataGrid as mentioned in the below forum?  

 

Forum Link: 

https://www.syncfusion.com/forums/126338/how-add-new-row-programmatically-in-sfdatagrid 

 

If yes, in that forum, we have suggested to use SfCellGrid and the requirement to add new rows programmatically without using underlying collection can be achieved only through Unbound rows for WPF SfDataGrid also. 

 

Also if we misunderstood your requirement, please let us know with more details.
