Derek,

In my dynamic Grid control (which is based on DataGrid, not DataGridView, so it will *definitely* be different), I do what amounts to the format/parse event handlers with the DataGridTextBoxColumn's GetColumnValueAtRow/SetColumnValueAtRow methods. I've tried looking for comparable methods in various DataGridView columns, cells, etc .... I can't find anything that appears to be of a similar nature.

So, bottom line, I'm not much help. But perhaps knowing what the methods are for this in the DataGrid might aid you in your search for finding something similar for the DataGridView?
