In order to extend a DataGridView control with the DGV Extension you have to:
1. Add reference to the main assembly ‘DataGridViewExtension.dll’ and all export DLLs you wish to be supported by the extension in your application like ‘DGVEExcelExporting.dll’ and/or ‘DGVEHtmlExporting.dll’. The assemblies can be found in folder 'v1.1.1\Bin' in the installation\archive.
2. First ensure you have the following imports:
C#
using CompletIT.Windows.DataGridViewExtension;
VB.NET
Imports CompletIT.Windows.DataGridViewExtension
3. Then, after the creation of the instance to DataGridView control(s) add the following lines:
C#
DataGridViewExtensionComponent dgvExtension = new DataGridViewExtensionComponent();
dgvExtension.SetManagedByExtension( dataGridView, true );
//Manage other grids here ...
VB.NET
Dim DGVExtension As DataGridViewExtensionComponent = New DataGridViewExtensionComponent()
DGVExtension.SetManagedByExtension( Me.DataGridViewControl, True )
'Manage other grids here ...
4. Run your application!
