Steps to reproduce the behavior

Create a Windows application

1. Create a Windows application that is named MyApp by using Microsoft Visual Basic .NET 2003. By default, a form that is named Form1 and a file that is named Form1.vb are created.
   
   Note If you use Microsoft Visual C# .NET 2003, a file that is named Form1.cs is created.
2. Add a DataGrid control to Form1.
3. Add two Button controls to Form1. By default, the Button1 Button control and the Button2 Button control are created.
4. On the View menu, click Properties Window.
5. In the Properties window of the Button1 Button control, set the Text property to Apply.
6. In the Properties window of the Button2 Button control, set the Text property to Load.
7. In the Properties window of the DataGrid1 DataGrid control, set the Size property to 200, 150.

Add code to the form

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click Form1.vb, and then click View Code.
2. In the Code view of the Form1.vb file, add the following code to the declarations section of the Form1 class:
   
   Visual Basic .NET code

   Private dataSet1 As System.Data.DataSet
   Private TestTable As System.Data.DataTable
   Private dataColumn1 As System.Data.DataColumn
   Private dataColumn2 As System.Data.DataColumn
   Private dataColumn3 As System.Data.DataColumn
   Private dataColumn4 As System.Data.DataColumn
   Private dataColumn5 As System.Data.DataColumn
   Private dataColumn6 As System.Data.DataColumn
   Private dataColumn7 As System.Data.DataColumn
   Private dataColumn8 As System.Data.DataColumn

   Visual C# .NET code

   private System.Data.DataSet dataSet1;
   private System.Data.DataTable TestTable;
   private System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn1;
   private System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn2;
   private System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn3;
   private System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn4;
   private System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn5;
   private System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn6;
   private System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn7;
   private System.Data.DataColumn dataColumn8;

3. In Design view, double-click the Form1 form, and then add the following code to the Form1_Load procedure:
   
   Visual Basic .NET code

   Me.dataSet1 = New System.Data.DataSet
   Me.TestTable = New System.Data.DataTable
   Me.dataSet1.DataSetName = "NewDataSet"
   Me.dataSet1.Locale = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")
   'Add new columns to the data table.
   Me.dataColumn1 = New System.Data.DataColumn
   Me.dataColumn2 = New System.Data.DataColumn
   Me.dataColumn3 = New System.Data.DataColumn
   Me.dataColumn4 = New System.Data.DataColumn
   Me.dataColumn5 = New System.Data.DataColumn
   Me.dataColumn6 = New System.Data.DataColumn
   Me.dataColumn7 = New System.Data.DataColumn
   Me.dataColumn8 = New System.Data.DataColumn
   Me.dataSet1.Tables.AddRange(New System.Data.DataTable() {Me.TestTable})
   Me.TestTable.Columns.AddRange(New System.Data.DataColumn() {Me.dataColumn1, _
   Me.dataColumn2, Me.dataColumn3, Me.dataColumn4, Me.dataColumn5, Me.dataColumn6, _
   Me.dataColumn7, Me.dataColumn8})
   Me.TestTable.TableName = "TestTable"
   'Assign names to the columns of the data table.
   Me.dataColumn1.ColumnName = "ID"
   Me.dataColumn1.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.Int32")
   Me.dataColumn2.ColumnName = "Column2"
   Me.dataColumn3.ColumnName = "Column3"
   Me.dataColumn4.ColumnName = "Column4"
   Me.dataColumn5.ColumnName = "Column5"
   Me.dataColumn6.ColumnName = "Column6"
   Me.dataColumn7.ColumnName = "Column7"
   Me.dataColumn8.ColumnName = "Column8"
   'Add rows to the data table.
   Dim values() As Object = {}
   Me.TestTable.Rows.Add(New Object() {1, "One", ""})
   Me.TestTable.Rows.Add(New Object() {2, "Two", ""})
   Me.TestTable.Rows.Add(New Object() {3, "Three", ""})
   Me.TestTable.Rows.Add(New Object() {4, "Four", ""})
   Me.TestTable.Rows.Add(New Object() {5, "Five", ""})
   Me.TestTable.AcceptChanges()
   

   Visual C# .NET code

   this.dataSet1 = new System.Data.DataSet();
   this.TestTable = new System.Data.DataTable();
   this.dataSet1.DataSetName = "NewDataSet";
   this.dataSet1.Locale = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
   //Add new columns to the data table.
   this.dataColumn1 = new System.Data.DataColumn();
   this.dataColumn2 = new System.Data.DataColumn();
   this.dataColumn3 = new System.Data.DataColumn();
   this.dataColumn4 = new System.Data.DataColumn();
   this.dataColumn5 = new System.Data.DataColumn();
   this.dataColumn6 = new System.Data.DataColumn();
   this.dataColumn7 = new System.Data.DataColumn();
   this.dataColumn8 = new System.Data.DataColumn();	
   this.dataSet1.Tables.AddRange(new System.Data.DataTable[] {this.TestTable});
   this.TestTable.Columns.AddRange(new System.Data.DataColumn[]{  
                                                                  this.dataColumn1,
                                                                  this.dataColumn2,
                                                                  this.dataColumn3,
                                                                  this.dataColumn4,
                                                                  this.dataColumn5,
                                                                  this.dataColumn6,
                                                                  this.dataColumn7,
                                                                  this.dataColumn8
                                                                });
   this.TestTable.TableName = "TestTable";
   //Assign names to the columns of the data table.
   this.dataColumn1.ColumnName = "ID";
   this.dataColumn1.DataType = typeof(int);
   this.dataColumn2.ColumnName = "Column2";
   this.dataColumn3.ColumnName = "Column3";
   this.dataColumn4.ColumnName = "Column4";
   this.dataColumn5.ColumnName = "Column5";
   this.dataColumn6.ColumnName = "Column6"; 
   this.dataColumn7.ColumnName = "Column7"; 
   this.dataColumn8.ColumnName = "Column8";
   //Add rows to the data table.
   this.TestTable.Rows.Add(new object[]{1, "One", null});
   this.TestTable.Rows.Add(new object[]{2, "Two", null});
   this.TestTable.Rows.Add(new object[]{3, "Three", null});
   this.TestTable.Rows.Add(new object[]{4, "Four", null});
   this.TestTable.Rows.Add(new object[]{5, "Five", null});
   this.TestTable.AcceptChanges();

4. In Design view of the Form1 form, double-click the Button1 Button control, and then add the following code to the Button1_Click procedure:
   
   Visual Basic .NET code

   Dim sourceDataView As New DataView((CType(Me.DataGrid1.DataSource, DataView).Table), _
   "", "", DataViewRowState.ModifiedCurrent)
   'Displays the count of the rows that are modified.
   MessageBox.Show(sourceDataView.Count.ToString())
   If (sourceDataView.Count <> 0) Then
       sourceDataView.Table.AcceptChanges()
   End If

   Visual C# .NET code

   DataView sourceDataView = new DataView(((DataView)this.dataGrid1.DataSource).Table, "", 
   "", DataViewRowState.ModifiedCurrent);
   //Displays the count of the rows that are modified.
   MessageBox.Show(sourceDataView.Count.ToString());
   if(sourceDataView.Count != 0)
   {
      sourceDataView.Table.AcceptChanges();
   }

5. In Design view of the Form1 form, double-click the Button2 Button control, and then add the following code to the Button2_Click procedure:
   
   Visual Basic .NET code

   Dim dview As New DataView(Me.dataSet1.Tables("TestTable"))
   'Displays the data of the data table in the DataGrid control.
   Display(dview, "")

   Visual C# .NET code

   //Displays the data of the data table in the DataGrid control.
   this.Display(new DataView(this.dataSet1.Tables["TestTable"]),null);
   

6. Add the following code after the Button2_Click procedure:
   
   Visual Basic .NET code

   Public Sub Display(ByVal dataSource As Object, ByVal dataMember As String)
       'Sets the data source of the DataGrid control.
       Me.DataGrid1.DataSource = dataSource
       Me.DataGrid1.DataMember = dataMember
   End Sub

   Visual C# .NET code

   public void Display(object dataSource, string dataMember)
   {
      //Sets the data source of the DataGrid control.
      this.dataGrid1.DataSource = dataSource;
      this.dataGrid1.DataMember = dataMember;
   }

Build the application

1. On the Build menu, click Build Solution.
2. On the Debug menu, click Start.
3. On the Form1 form, click Load to load the data to the DataGrid control.
4. Modify the value in the second column of any row in the DataGrid control.
5. Without moving the row pointer from the second column of the DataGrid control, drag the horizontal scroll bar to the right by using the mouse pointer until the second column moves out of the visible area.
6. Click Apply to display the count of the modified rows. Notice that the count is 0.
7. Move the horizontal scroll bar back to the original position, and then click Apply again. Notice that the count is 1.
