Format to Uppercase in a DataGridView.Column

Format to Uppercase in a DataGridView.Column

• Jeffyoung1234

  Hook the CellFormating event and use String.ToUpper - something like:
  
  Private Sub DataGridView1_CellFormatting(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellFormatting

        If (e.ColumnIndex = 1) Then

              e.Value = e.Value.ToString.ToUpper

        End If

  End Sub

  Thank you for your answer.
  
  I did this before but I recived an error message:
  

  Message="An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
  
  Finally, I made it in this way:
  
  

  Private Sub UseriGrid_CellEndEdit(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles UseriGrid.CellEndEdit

    If e.ColumnIndex = 0 Then

       UseriGrid.CurrentCell.Value = UseriGrid.CurrentCell.Value.ToString.ToUpper

    End If

  End Sub
  
  Anyway....I don't understand why is't an easy way to do this. A property like CharacterCasing ...or why not take the format from DefaultCellStyle.
  
  Thank you again !
