Answer 1

Use LoadPatientRecords() after a successful insertion.

Try the below code

private void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        if (btnSubmit.Text == "Clear")
        {
            btnSubmit.Text = "Submit";

            txtpFirstName.Focus();
        }
        else
        {
           btnSubmit.Text = "Clear";
           int result = AddPatientRecord();
           if (result > 0)
           {
               MessageBox.Show("Insert Successful");

               LoadPatientRecords();
           }
           else
               MessageBox.Show("Insert Fail");
         }
}

Answer 2

Only need to fill datagrid again like this:

this.XXXTableAdapter.Fill(this.DataSet.XXX);

If you use automaticlly connect from dataGridView this code create automaticlly in Form_Load()

Answer 3

Try refreshing the datagrid after each insert

datagridview1.update();
datagridview1.refresh();  

Hope this helps you!

Answer 4

You can set the datagridview DataSource to null and rebind it again.

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    myAccesscon.ConnectionString = connectionString;

    dataGridView.DataSource = null;
    dataGridView.Update();
    dataGridView.Refresh();
    OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(sql, myAccesscon);
    myAccesscon.Open();
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
    OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataTable bookings = new DataTable();
    da.Fill(bookings);
    dataGridView.DataSource = bookings;
    myAccesscon.Close();
}

Answer 5

I don't know if you resolved your problem, but a simple way to resolve this is rebuilding the DataSource (it is a property) of your datagridview. For example:

grdPatient.DataSource = MethodThatReturnList();

So, in that MethodThatReturnList() you can build a List (List is a class) with all the items you need. In my case, I have a method that return the values for two columns that I have on my datagridview.

Pasch.

Answer 6

In the form designer add a new timer using the toolbox. In properties set "Enabled" equal to "True".

The set the DataGridView to equal your new data in the timer

Answer 7

Try below piece of code.

this.dataGridView1.RefreshEdit();

Answer 8

this.donorsTableAdapter.Fill(this.sbmsDataSet.donors);

Answer 9

I tried everything mentionned here and it all failed. What I needed to do was Thread.Sleep(1_000); between the database update and the datagridview refresh. It seems that the datagridview was refreshing before the data was updated in the database.
