Hi everybody,

How can I implement common logic for different grids?

Say, right now I have:

  #region Format Order Items Grid (New Order Page)
        /// <summary>
        /// Format the Order Items grid.
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="dt"></param>
        private void FormatOrderItemsGrid(OrderDetailsDS.OrderDetailsDataTable dt)
        {
            if (_gridStyleItem == null)
            {
                _gridStyleItem = new DataGridTableStyle();
                this.grdOrderItems.TableStyles.Add(_gridStyleItem);
                this.grdOrderItems.TableStyles[0].MappingName = dt.TableName;
                //this.Width = 220;
                //this.grdOrderItems.Width = 220;

                //Order No column               

                //Order Item Column
                DataGridTextBoxColumn colManPartNo = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
                //colManPartNo.Owner = this.grdOrderItems;
                colManPartNo.HeaderText = "Item No";
                colManPartNo.MappingName = "ItemNo";
                colManPartNo.Width = ((this.grdOrderItems.Width * 20) / 100);
                //colManPartNo.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;

                // Unfortunately the Description column is not in OrderDetails table
                //Order Item Description
                DataGridTextBoxColumn colDescription = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
                //colDescription.Owner = this.grdOrderItems;
                colDescription.HeaderText = "Description";
                colDescription.MappingName = "Description";
                colDescription.Width = ((this.grdOrderItems.Width * 40) / 100);
                //colDescription.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;

                DataGridTextBoxColumn colQuantity = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
                //colQuantity.Owner = this.grdOrderItems;
                colQuantity.HeaderText = "Qty";
                colQuantity.MappingName = "Qty";
                colQuantity.Width = ((this.grdOrderItems.Width * 10) / 100);
                //colQuantity.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center;

                //Order Item Price
                DataGridTextBoxColumn colPrice = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
                //colPrice.Owner = this.grdOrderItems;
                colPrice.HeaderText = "Price";

                //colPrice.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;
                // Setup table mapping name

                //Order Item Total Price
                DataGridTextBoxColumn colTotalPrice = new DataGridTextBoxColumn();
                //colTotalPrice.Owner = this.grdOrderItems;
                colTotalPrice.HeaderText = "Total";
                colTotalPrice.MappingName = "TotalPrice";
                colTotalPrice.Width = ((this.grdOrderItems.Width * 15) / 100);
                //colTotalPrice.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Right;

                // Setup table mapping name
                this.grdOrderItems.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles.Add(colManPartNo);

The code is exactly the same but applied to different grids, would I be able to pass the grid as a parameter and use GridParameter instead of this.grdOrderDetails through the code?

I also have the same problem with MouseUp event. I want to use the same code for two different grids with only slight difference that I want to set one private member of my form class in case of grdSearch and another in case of grdOrderDetails. What would be good way to implement this?

Thanks a lot in advance.
