Most likely every .NET developer started from Windows Forms applications. Countless number of such applications is created every day all around the world.  These are the applications that bear the brunt of the user’s daily work, whether it is a text editor or some kind of information accounting system. Compared to console applications, Windows Forms are designed to get the full use of graphic elements – forms for displaying information and interacting with the user.

As you understand, it is necessary not only to hide the column, but also a title for it. If hiding a column is a matter of a couple of clicks with a mouse, then hiding the title task is not trivial. Suppose we have a table from which we want to display the data in a report. However, some data may be missing or set to zero. In this case, we can use the “Conditional Selection” tool to hide zero-data cells. Select the desired cell and click on the icon on the toolbar:   When you add conditions, by default there will be a ...

If you wanted to insert a row or column other than at the end of the table, you had to transfer all the cell values manually. In addition, to transfer values, it was necessary to open the editor, copy the value, and paste it through the same editor of another cell. To resolve these issues and make working with TableObject easier, we have added several changes to the designer ...
