克服.NET在DataGridView中显示二进制列的问题

对上述方法进行了一些改进。#1处理空二进制列,2在转换大量列时提高了性能(反复使用相同的字符串生成器),3最大显示长度为8000,以避免将真正大的二进制列转换为字符串…#4使用guid创建临时列名称,以避免名称冲突,以防出现名为“temp”的列…

/// <summary>
/// Maximum length of binary data to display (display is truncated after this length)
/// </summary>
const int maxBinaryDisplayString = 8000;

/// <summary>
/// Accepts datatable and converts all binary columns into textual representation of a binary column
/// For use when display binary columns in a DataGridView
/// </summary>
/// <param name="t">Input data table</param>
/// <returns>Updated data table, with binary columns replaced</returns>
private DataTable FixBinaryColumnsForDisplay(DataTable t)
{
    List<string> binaryColumnNames = t.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>().Where(col => col.DataType.Equals(typeof(byte[]))).Select(col => col.ColumnName).ToList();
    foreach (string binaryColumnName in binaryColumnNames)
    {
        // Create temporary column to copy over data
        string tempColumnName = "C" + Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
        t.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(tempColumnName, typeof(string)));
        t.Columns[tempColumnName].SetOrdinal(t.Columns[binaryColumnName].Ordinal);

        // Replace values in every row
        StringBuilder hexBuilder = new StringBuilder(maxBinaryDisplayString * 2 + 2);
        foreach (DataRow r in t.Rows)
        {
            r[tempColumnName] = BinaryDataColumnToString(hexBuilder, r[binaryColumnName]);
        }

        t.Columns.Remove(binaryColumnName);
        t.Columns[tempColumnName].ColumnName = binaryColumnName;
    }
    return t;

    if (columnValue == DBNull.Value)
    {

        return "(null)";
    }
    else
    {
        // Otherwise return hex representation
        byte[] byteArray = (byte[])columnValue;

        for(int i = 0; i<displayLength; i++)
        {
            hexBuilder.Append(hexChars[(int)byteArray[i] >> 4]);
            hexBuilder.Append(hexChars[(int)byteArray[i] % 0x10]);

在左右为难的回答的激励下,加上在发表我的问题后有足够的时间重新思考问题,我以一种 MorphBinaryColumns 方法,嵌入完整的样本测试程序中( 除了 对于vs的设计器从包含单个DataGridView的WinForm生成的代码)。

morphbinarycolumns检查列集合,对于每个二进制列, 生成一个值转换为十六进制字符串的新列,然后交换原始列,用新列替换它,保留原始列顺序。

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
  public Form1()
  {
    InitializeComponent();
  }

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    var sqlCnn = new SqlConnection("..."); // fill in your connection string
    string strsql = "select ... from ..."; // fill in your query

    var dataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
    var dataTable = new DataTable();
    dataAdapter.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand(strsql, sqlCnn);
    dataAdapter.Fill(dataTable);
    MorphBinaryColumns(dataTable);
    dataGridView1.DataSource = dataTable;
  }

  private void MorphBinaryColumns(DataTable table)
  {
    var targetNames =  table.Columns.Cast<DataColumn>()
      .Where(col => col.DataType.Equals(typeof(byte[])))
      .Select(col => col.ColumnName).ToList();
    foreach (string colName in targetNames)
    {
      // add new column and put it where the old column was
      var tmpName = "new";
      table.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(tmpName, typeof (string)));
      table.Columns[tmpName].SetOrdinal(table.Columns[colName].Ordinal);

      // fill in values in new column for every row
      foreach (DataRow row in table.Rows)
      {
        row[tmpName] = "0x" + string.Join("",
          ((byte[]) row[colName]).Select(b => b.ToString("X2")).ToArray());
      }

      // cleanup
      table.Columns.Remove(colName);
      table.Columns[tmpName].ColumnName = colName;
    }
  }
}

基本上:

• 从数据库获取数据到数据表
• 然后添加新列(typeof(string))

• 然后写入二进制内容(使用 字节数组到十六进制字符串)进入新列

• 然后数据库。

它既简单又烦人,但却有效地解决了问题。

如何基于为该列执行强制转换的视图进行查询?
