Adding a *DataGridView* to your restaurant management system in


*VB.NET* for managing meals (adding and removing) is quite straightforward. Below is an example of
how to implement this in a *Windows Forms Application*:

*Steps to Follow:*

1. Create a *Windows Forms Application* in Visual Studio.

2. Add a *DataGridView* to the form. This will be used to display the meals.

3. Add two buttons for *adding* and *removing* meals from the `DataGridView`.

*Sample Design:*

- Add a *DataGridView* to the form, and name it `dataGridMeals`.

- Add *TextBox* fields or combo boxes for the manager to enter meal details (name, price, etc.).

- Add two buttons: one for *adding* meals and another for *removing* meals.

*Step-by-Step Code Example*

1. *Design the Form:*

- Drag and drop a *DataGridView* control to the form.

- Set the *Name* of the DataGridView to `dataGridMeals`.

- Add two buttons, one for adding a meal (`btnAddMeal`) and one for removing a meal
(`btnRemoveMeal`).

- Add two textboxes or input controls for meal details: one for *meal name* (`txtMealName`) and
one for *meal price* (`txtMealPrice`).

2. *VB.NET Code:*

```vb
Public Class RestaurantManagementForm

' Declare a BindingList to store meals

Private mealList As New BindingList(Of Meal)()

[4/5, 9:25 PM] ChatGPT: ' Define the Meal class

Public Class Meal

Public Property MealName As String

Public Property MealPrice As Decimal

End Class

' Load event to populate the DataGridView with initial data

Private Sub RestaurantManagementForm_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles


MyBase.Load

' Bind the DataGridView to the mealList

dataGridMeals.DataSource = mealList

End Sub

' Button click event to add a new meal

Private Sub btnAddMeal_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnAddMeal.Click

' Check if the inputs are valid

If String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(txtMealName.Text) OrElse Not Decimal.TryParse(txtMealPrice.Text,


Nothing) Then

MessageBox.Show("Please enter a valid meal name and price.", "Invalid Input",


MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error)

Return

End If

' Create a new Meal object and add it to the mealList


Dim newMeal As New Meal() With {

.MealName = txtMealName.Text,

.MealPrice = Decimal.Parse(txtMealPrice.Text)

mealList.Add(newMeal)

' Optionally, clear the inputs after adding the meal

txtMealName.Clear()

txtMealPrice.Clear()

End Sub

[4/5, 9:25 PM] ChatGPT: ' Button click event to remove a selected meal

Private Sub btnRemoveMeal_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnRemoveMeal.Click

' Check if any row is selected in the DataGridView

If dataGridMeals.SelectedRows.Count > 0 Then

' Get the selected row and remove the corresponding meal from the list

Dim selectedRow As DataGridViewRow = dataGridMeals.SelectedRows(0)

mealList.RemoveAt(selectedRow.Index)

Else

MessageBox.Show("Please select a meal to remove.", "No Selection", MessageBoxButtons.OK,


MessageBoxIcon.Warning)

End If

End Sub

End Class

```
*Explanation of the Code:*

1. *Meal Class*:

- A simple class with two properties: `MealName` (for the name of the meal) and `MealPrice` (for the
price of the meal).

2. *BindingList*:

- `mealList` is a `BindingList(Of Meal)`, which is used to hold the list of meals. It's a special collection
type that automatically updates the bound `DataGridView` when items are added or removed.

- This list is bound to the `DataGridView` through `dataGridMeals.DataSource = mealList`.

3. *Adding Meals*:

- In the `btnAddMeal_Click` method, we first validate the inputs (meal name and price).

[4/5, 9:25 PM] ChatGPT: - Then, a new `Meal` object is created and added to the `mealList`.

- The `txtMealName` and `txtMealPrice` inputs are cleared after the meal is added.

4. *Removing Meals*:

- In the `btnRemoveMeal_Click` method, we check if any row is selected in the `DataGridView`.

- If a row is selected, the corresponding meal is removed from `mealList`, which automatically
updates the `DataGridView`.

- If no row is selected, a message is shown.

*Form Design Tips:*

- *DataGridView Columns*: You can customize the columns in `dataGridMeals` to make sure the data
looks clean and well-organized. You can set the columns programmatically or use the
`AutoGenerateColumns` property.
*Sample Code for Column Configuration (optional)*:

```vb

Private Sub RestaurantManagementForm_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles


MyBase.Load

' Create columns for the DataGridView

dataGridMeals.Columns.Add("MealName", "Meal Name")

dataGridMeals.Columns.Add("MealPrice", "Meal Price")

' Bind the DataGridView to the mealList

dataGridMeals.DataSource = mealList

End Sub

```

*Running the Application*:

- When you run the application, the manager will be able to:

- *Add a new meal* by entering the name and price in the text boxes and clicking the "Add Meal"
button.
