If I load a datatable, and then set a listbox properties pointing to it, I get the right data, e.g.:
[code]...
I get System.Data.DataRowView instead of my actual data.I don't understand how the databinding is actual happening, and how I refresh my the data in the control when the data changes.
I have a windows form that I bind to a datatable via a binding source. The binding is done in code at run time. Eg;Me.txtCode.DataBindings.Add(New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", bsForm, "ToolCode", True)) (bsForm is the binding source)This works well except if the form control is hidden (I have a couple controls on the form that hold Record ID and Version numbers that the user doesn't need to see). Databinding doesn't seem to work reliably for hidden controls.
View 10 Replieslike this i have n number of questions in my word document. so my need is i need to read the questions and fill it up in the datagridview with yes or know chek box. my datagridview appearance would be as follows. so the peson who is viewing the questions and can make yes or know option using the check box.if the person chooses no option he has to enter the reason the reason column. so i have to do this dynamically. means that binding datagridview with checkbox ,textbox, data dynamically. how to do this please because after the datas entered in the datagridview i have to loop through rows and i have populate into another word document. so please if there is any sample
View 4 RepliesI want to be able to control several groups of settings independently of each other. I'd originally used My.Settings, but it was too much work to manually rollback some settings whilst saving others.
I thought my solution was to use multiple settings files, and I've had moments where this seemed to work, but I whatever success I have had is periodic and temporary.
Currently I have two settings files in the root of the project; In code, I can access the settings OK, but in many cases I want to bind individual settings to controls. This should be straight-forward, and I recall it working when I used the single, built-in settings file.
However, when I use the two new settings files it doesn't work. In the Formatting & Advanced Binding dialog, I select Add New Project Data Source, I browse into my project, then into the root namespace, and then I see my forms/classes/settings files. When I select the two settings files, and click OK, the dialog is dismissed without me being able to select an individual setting to bind the control to.
When I enable Project > Show All Files, I can see that the binding has been created; I have two .datasource files under My Project > Datasources.
Is there some reason why I shouldn't be able to bind to these settings files? If not, why can I not access them the the data-binding dialogs?
Plan B is to create an object to act as an intermediary between the controls and the settings files, but I'd rather avoid this if I can.
I have a form that with a list of text boxes. My target is simply binding these controls to an XML file so that whenever the file contents are changed externally, the text box values change dynamically. I will have an external application edit the XML file and overwrite the existing one.
View 3 RepliesI have the following datagrid:

<Columns>

all bindings work except the ones in the validation controls for the itemtemplate of the last column (they are passed as text to the web page). Why is this happening? is it even possible to do what I'm trying to do?
I have yet to find a "nice" way to do two way databinding in .Net. The one thing I don't like for example in the present asp.net two way databinding is doing the binding in the aspx page is no compile time checking, ie:
<asp:TextBox ID="TitleTextBox"
runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Title_oops_spelled_wrong") %>'>
I would like to have something like this:
Class Binder
Public Sub BindControl(ctl As Control, objectProperty As ???????)
'// Add ctl and objectProperty to a collection
End Sub
What I don't know is possible is, how to receive the objectProperty in my example; I want to receive a reference (ie: a pointer) to the property, so later, via this reference, I can either read from or write to the property.
Can this somehow be done with delegates perhaps??
UPDATE: Note, I want to add the control reference to a binding collection, this collection would then be used for binding and unbinding.
I am using Visual Basic Express 2010.
I have programmatically set up a Datagrid and binding navigator etc., but I cannot get the movenext, movelast buttons to actually hook up to the Data on the Datagrid.
I have tried to set up an addhandler for the BindingNavigatorMoveLastcontrol, and although I can get the BindingNavigatorMoveLastcontrol to display my messagebox
WHICH IT DISPLAYS TWICE FOR SOME REASON I cannot get it to actually move around the Dataset, or any of the other navigation properties for that matter.

Im trying to show data from a Web service in a win form - with the data on various labels. Well.. id like to put the data into a dataset and then bind controls to it...Thing is ive never done this before, the project was started as a little learner project for myself and a web dev friend (who created the service)Showing the data in a webpage is sorted, its using it on a winform that i cant get my head around. Ive added a service ref and then thats about as far as ive got, everything i try to do to call data from the service seems wrong. How do you go about this
View 3 RepliesI need to add rows to a DataSet using databound controls in VB.net. I've set up the data bindings themselves, they're bound the the correct controls, and the BindingSource uses the correct DataSet. The DataSet is filled from the DataAdapter correctly, and the binding source works, as the navigation controls all work fine. How do I use the controls to add new data to the DataSet? I guess there must be some kind of end-edit involved which would enable me to insert, update and delete records in the DataSet (as you would use with DataGridViews)

View 2 RepliesI have a query about dynamically added controls to a form. I have a series of buttons which are created and added at run time. I have a two drop down lists and two buttons which are created at design time. Button 1 creates a series of buttons called "Test 1.x" based upon the selection of the two drop down lists. This works fine and am happy with the logic.However.... Button two should remove all the dynamically created buttons from the form.This does not happen. What does happen is that 50% of the buttons are removed starting with the first one. WHen checking the loop it only enters the loop half the amount of times that there are buttons. Very strange. When the loop is run repeatability it will remove all controls. Why will my logic not remove all the dynamically created controls at once? What is wrong with my logic?
I attach two code snippets and the .net file for your consideration.Button method which creates the dynamically created buttons from the two drop down lists and adds to form
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

I have SQLdb column elements from one table that are selected from another table. This is achieved through the use of binding a combobox to the selectable entries and applying that entries ID to the initiating table column When I add multiple combo boxes, for multiple columns, the data selected propagates across all the combo boxes I have. They all use the same binding source. It seems to me the only way out of this is to create a bunch of binding sources, essentially one for each control. I have tested this and it appears to work, but is there another, less cluttered way of ensuring that the comboboxes, while bound to the same binding source, are not bound to one another?

View 2 RepliesI would like to know how do .net developers manage a large window application with a large number of controls, such as textbox , button, groupbox? I have seen a number of people do it this way : declare the controls as an array and initialize them one by one at run time . In this way it is easy to manage those controls because they can be accessed by array index; but this solution seems to require very good understanding of control's attribute such as its location, font etc. This could be a difficult task if the project is passed on to a less experienced developer and add changes to it.How do you deal with it?

On my first form, I have a combobox that is bound to the Locations table and displays all the different locations. Once a location is selected, a 2nd form is loaded which has textboxes which are also bound to the Locations table and are populated with the corresponding data.
Here's my issue: on the 2nd form, I have combobox that is bound to the Offices table. Currently, when this form loads all the available offices, displaying with the first office in the list. I need it to populate with the correct office based on the selection made on the combobox on the first form. I guess what I'm asking is, how does one bind a combobox to a foreign key b/c it is the foreign key, office_refnbr, from the Locations table that needs to display in the Office combobox.
I've tried a variety of bindings, including:[code...]

View 1 RepliesI use the binding navigator in my application, but when the resolution of the display gets to small and I have to use the scrollbars, then I get a problem. The scrollbars automatically scrolls down below the navigator bar instead of showing it when the window loads. I figured it out using focus or select. it now loads on top,but then I got a second problem.When I press on my tab-control it "autoscrolls" down again and puts the tab-control as the first visible thing on the screen instead of the navigation bar. How can I prevent that?
View 1 RepliesWhat I would like to do is bind a combobox to my own object which is as follows:
Public Class Categories
Public Sub New(ByVal myConn As SqlConnection)
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = myConn
myConnection.Open()
[code]....
(I have put breakpoints and I know this object has data.)So on my form how do I bind my combobox to this object? The code I have is below:
Dim bs As New BindingSource
bs.DataSource = New Inventory.Categories(myconn)
cboCategory.DataSource = bs
cboCategory.DisplayMember = "Description"
cboCategory.ValueMember = "CategoryID"
but it returns the following error: Cannot bind to the new display member. Parameter name: newDisplayMember
i try to bind database to combo box but having (Object reference not set to an instance of an object) error during the running.
it's about object binding, yes it's just a simple binding. but i don't know why it won't work.for summary, i will write about what i am doing:
1. i have one solution, and have two project in it. WaitressDataWin and WaitressDataObject
2. inside WaitressDataWin, i have 'waitressdata.vb' . this is my simple form , there are some basic textbox (waitress name, address, phone)
3. inside WaitressDataObject, i have 'waitressDataObj.vb' is where i put my object class, i have WaitressName property, WaitressAddress, and Phone.one of my property is like this, others are same except the name of course.
Private _WaitressName As String
''' <summary>
''' Gets or sets the Waitress Name[code]....
4. i create data source , that is object data source. i add reference so i can add my second project which is WaitressDataObject and set the WaitressDataObj as the data source.now i have datasource with three properties (WaitressName, WaitressAddress, Phone)
5. I bind my textbox, by dragging the WaitressName (in datasource) to my waitressname textbox .. so on to all my properties.., i also get bindingsourcecomponent, WaitressDataObjectBindingSource
6. then I put this code to my form load :
dim wdm = new WaitressDataObj
Me.WaitressDataObjectBindingSource.DataSource = wdm
7. done, it should've been worked, but it didn't , i don't know why.. , every time i fill one of my textbox, the properties didn't set the value, i put breakpoint in the 'set' part of all my properties but it never breaks anyway.. (the 'get' part is good, it read my property value when i load the form). so i just had problem in my 'SET' Part.
8. I think i had checked on my variable (word, case sensitive,etc), no problem.
have a binding list which i want to be able to add and remove items.This is the class im using
Friend Class ExecutableItem

Public Property Method() As Action

what I want to achive is to have a centralized control of my data-forms from my toolbars (toolstrip), like navigating (PREV-NEXT), SAVE, DELETE, CANCLE and so on instead of having it in every form. it worked beautifully in my VB6 projects. below are the codes i did in .NET and it don't seem to work and I guessed it about my use of late binding in .NET.
This is what I have done that don't seem to work. In my project module, frm is declared Public as form object Public frm as system.windows.form().form
Im my childforms i want as soon as the forms are load, activated or have focus, should instantiate or create the form object in my frm. [Code] while in my menu or main form (parent form) with toolstrip buttons, this actually where all individual forms are called. [Code]
and it's flagging an error there:
frm.CloseForm is not a member of System.Windows.Forms().Form
and I must say here that I declared all the subs im calling in the childforms PUBLIC, and of-course frm being a late binding type may not have all the Public Method on it.
