While programming a little utility, I came across an issue programmatically updating the value of a cell in a DataGridView (.NET 3.5, Visual Studio 2008).  Before setting the EditOnEnter property, the cell would visually update on the EndEdit() call, however, this broke when I set the EditOnEnter property (I presume because this property sets the grid in a perpetual edit and thus ignores the EndEdit() call).  The solution I found was to call RefreshEdit().  Info from Microsoft is here.  The basic info is RefreshEdit() refreshes the display of a cell even during editing.

I have released a new piece of software called Office File Extensions Reset Utility (OFERU). This utility will correct any file association problems MSOffice 2003 might have. These problems may have been caused by installing a program like OpenOffice, which associates itself with extensions such as .doc, .xls, or .ppt.
