I have a datatable that I am using as a datasource to a datagridview. I am adding a datagridviewbuttoncolumn just before I set the datasource.
The problem that I am having is that I want the text "View" to show on the button and it is not.
I was under the impression that setting the Text property of the buttoncolumn would do so, but haven't had any luck.
I have tried adding the button column before setting the datasource, after the datasource, and I have added the button column in the designer. All of these have given me a column with no text on the button. Did I miss something. I have include the designer for the datagridview to help.
