I have a custom business object called Customer and a Form1 with a BindingSource1, NumericUpDown1, TextBox1 and ComboBox1 and the attached code. Setting break points in the Property Sets shows that the Set for the ComboBox never fires at all even though the Set for the NumericUpDown and TextBox fire like crazy. [code]
View 1 Repliesusing an object-binding I have a an object representing "Employee". The employee has an ID-property. The ID of the employee must be unique.
My validation of the entered data is handled in the property set part of the object. In general, I validate criteria belonging to the object to validate only (eg numeric range of the ID, if it's value is not empy, ...). But in this case I need to know all ID's from the other employees. My tried this:
''' <summary>
''' Set EmployeeID
''' </summary>

Due to a discussion in another thread , I am starting to use business object in an 3-Tiered windows app. As a starting point, I am trying to build objects/classes on a table from my database.
The database table has the following columns:
ID
TypeID
Reference
[Code]....
The issue I'm currently having is mapping multiple GUI fields to object properties (i.e. Presentation layer to Business Logic Layer mapping). To be more specific, this is in VB.Net 2.0 WinForms. The nature of the solution requires us to have 4 columns which exhibit the same type of behavior on our GUI - each column consisting of 11 textboxes (we'll just use this small sample size, as the problem extends beyond 11 textboxes).
What I am currently doing is setting the tag of each textbox in all four columns to a value like so:
Textbox1.tag = "name"
Textbox2.tag = "type"
Textbox3.tag = "speed"
[Code]...
As you can see this can get very bad, rather quickly. Currently we're setting 43 some odd properties that can be mapped to -- thus that select statement is extremely long -- many of which are embedded in multiple methods to try and attempt DRY (I've watered down the code to essentially a conceptual implementation).
Question is: how can I refactor this? I've attempted using a dictionaries/hashes to a certain extent, but it either became overly complex, or just plain didn't make an implementation sense as it convoluted the problem even more.
I have completed a simple database for a project. Only 6tables. Of the 6, one is a "lookup" table.There is one "master" table that is the driver for the system. It is referenced as a foreign key by the other four tables.Give that this step is completed. What is the FASTEST, EASIEST way to create POCOs/BizObjects that can load load the data and the child data.Here are my CAVEATS.
I don't want to spend more than 30-60 minutes learning how? There is very little biz logic needed in the POCOs. They will pretty much load data. Don't even really need to write back data.I already know CSLA (up to version 3) but I feel that is overkill for this little project.Nevertheless, I would love it if it ROOT objects could have collection classes that contain the CHILD objects as in CSLA...but again, without using CSLA.
I need to generate a table from a List(Of Students). My Student class has properties for AcademicYear, TeachingSet, Surname and Forenames, is sorted in that order and also properties for ID and start date.

I'm developing a business model for an application where I am representing physical entities. The hierarchy created from this is neat, but as I'm doing this, I'm beginning to think about things like, what properties should be included in one that may already be apart of another? Or what if some properties are expected to be in one object, but another object needs to return that value, how does it communicate that request through the hierarchical chain? And what is the best practice for this design?
[Code]...
But then I got to thinking, what if I have a ConnectionPoint entity and I want it to return which Panel it has? Should it have it's own Panel association as well? Or should there be a method/pattern for communicating the request up the chain? And again... what's typical best practice?
In a vb .net winforms app I am trying out something for "wide and shallow" children of a record. I use strongly typed business objects ( Strataframe ).My plan is to have a number of "child tables" collected in a dataset I drop on the form. they have no correspondence in persisted data, so the dataset is untyped and I am creating the schema through the property sheet for the tables. Each table is the datasource for a datagridview in the interface.
In my proof of concept sample, My main businessobject (CustomerBO) interacts with a SQL Server 2008 table with fields - pk, name, - and a third column which is currently varchar(max) as I considered XML but could just as easily be varbinary(max) if that works better for holding the serialized dataset.
bo.bigfield will be the strongly typed prop I want to hold the byte() array or XML or whatever that represents the dataset for that record.So, the question in a nutshell - how do I convert a dataset to a single datum and reproduce the dataset from that datum. This is my first foray into datasets, datagridviews as well so if there are better ways to accomplish any of that I'm listening.
I was just wondering if it is possible to apply an attribute to a property within a business object (MyBusinessObject) such that after the DataSource of a grid is set to a List(Of MyBusinessObject), the visible property of the column will automatically be false. For example:
myGrid.DataSource = New List(Of MyBusinessObject)
Public Class MyBusinessObject

I'd like to have an updateable DataGridView that's bound to a database-driven business object. It needs to handle all aspects of CRUD and be sortable and filterable as well.
Most of them simply bind to an object (non-database, manually filled) and do not allow you to Add, Delete, and Edit records. Furthermore, they basically never show how you would perform sorting and filtering.
I think the biggest things I'm not understanding are:
1) How do you make the DataGridView perform additions, deletions, and edits on an object.
2) How do you program your object to handle additions, deletions, and edits. Do you just need methods that use ADO.Net, NHibernate, or Linq to SQL (or any other CRUD handling mechanism)?
3) How to make this filterable and sortable.
Is this overly difficult to do or why am I have so much trouble finding examples for this?
I am trying to bind my combobox selected value something like:
Me.combobox1.SelectedValue = Me.BindingSource8.Item("ColumnName")
The column has a numerical value
list the steps to fill a combobox using a bindingsource. I dragged a bindingsource onto a form, created a datatable and datatableadapter(correct term?), added a query. I tried but I am missing something, my combobox displays System.Data.
View 5 RepliesI have the following:
a table of addresses and a bindingsource for the table
a enum list of address type: 0 = "Mailing", 1 = "Physical", 2 = "Shipping" etc...
I would like to bind the datasource of the combobox to the enum so it displays "Mailing", "Physical" etc. Then I would like to change the bindingsource position of the address table based on the user selection of the combobox.
Here is what I have so far:
cbxAddressName.DataSource = New BindingSource(ApplicationEnums.GetEnumList(GetType(ApplicationEnums.CompanyAddressType)), Nothing)

I have a datagridview that is bound to a list object of a custom type via a BindingSource. From everything I've read, I should be able to click the column headers and the rows sort, This doesn't happen for me. Sortmode is set to automatic and the column headers aren't set to be used for selection so it should work.
I know that I could sort progamatticly but that seems a little bit of a waste given that I should just be able to do it by default.
I want to search particular item in Binding Source for which i use BindingSource.Find() method, but it throws an exception "This operation requires an IBindingList". My binding source is bind to a .net class object.. I searched over the internet, but could not find the clear solution to achieve this task. The sample class code is given below:
Imports System.ComponentModel
Public Class Department
Private _code As Long
[Code].....
Now I have the need to get a current value from a bindingsource in a property of a user control.In a previous thread I had tracked down the "Object variable or With block variable not set" to the return in the Get block of a property. At the time I was only using the Set so I just commented out the offending code until I needed it.
[Code]...
The error does not occur during a system compile, only upon saving the container object of the user control. As I said the Set works correctly, only the Get causes the error.I would like to know what I am missing/misunderstanding and am open to other suggestions of handling retrieving the current value of a bindingsource in a user control.
I would like to add the properties "visible" and "enabled" to the Items object of a combobox in VB .Net so that I can hide or disable individual line items of the combobox. I have created the class "CustomListItem" that inherits the combobox.objectcollection. I have also created the class "CustomComboBox". Now, I would like to override the custombox.Items object with my custom one.

I am working on a project that uses lots of custom class objects.Before starting work on real project, I tested the object behaviour on a temporary project. And find that if i add the object to a list and combobox and then make any change to the object property then it reflects in list and combobox.But after using the same process in real project the change does not reflect. how can i update object property placed in the combobox.for eg.Class X has property id and name created objX of type Class X and set id=1 and name='All' insert objX to combobox now, in the same form and in other function when i get objX from combobox and change name='None', then it does not reflect in combobox.
View 3 RepliesI've gotten to a point where I'm trying to add a ComboBox to a UserControl, and to populate it from a collection which exists in code.
I've been getting along pretty much on monkey-see-monkey-do coding for the most part; copying and adapting existing code in order to get the next stage working, but this DataSource stuff has me stumped. I've been through a whole bunch of articles on MSDN this morning and am no closer to understanding than I was when I started.
Let me go through a few of the things that are messing with me, and hopefully you guys will be able to point me in the right direction:
1) None of the [UserControlName].vb files contains any code. All of the code for the UserControls is stored in [UserControlName]Model.vb files, and then code of the following sort is used:
<UserControl
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:l="clr-namespace:MySolution"

1.5) (using bullet points means I can't use <> brackets or code blocks later on. What the hell, markdown?) Anyway...
2) I'm pretty sure I only want a Static Source for the moment, as the items in the ComboBox aren't going to change during execution, at this time. Problem is, all the articles I can find about this are gigantic, complex things about creating XML readers, and populating DataGridViews and sorting data, and on and on and on. I just want to declare that I'm using a frealing List! A List I've already created in code.
So, yeah, I basically need to use a Public Property ComboBoxLines As List(Of String) from a class which isn't the same class as the UserControl itself as the DataSource for a ComboBox.
I'm pretty sure this has been answered on this thread before, but I'm having trouble searching for it, so I decided to make a new post. Anyway, My problem is that I have a Setting from "My.Settings.Navigation" that is a Specialized String Collection, and what I am trying to do is find a method in which I can attach "My.Settings.Navigation" to a ComboBox. I was also wondering if it was possible to make it only hold up to 20 items at a time?
View 4 RepliesSo basically I have a ComboBox on a form, which I populated by adding custom object named "Category" and by setting the DisplayMember to the property "Name" of my object.On another form that can be opened at the same time, I can edit the name of theses "Category" objects. I raise an Event, "NameChanged" but how can I catch it on the form which contains the ComboBox? Even if the property "Name" of the object "Category" change, the display on the ComboBox doesn't autoupdate. So I need to catch the event, but I don't know how to do it.
View 1 RepliesI have a combobox in a form, I want to fill it with names I have stored in a database. I know I have to use the fill command, but I am not sure what code I need to use. I imagine I need to place this code in the form load event, where I wrote my code to connect to the database. Do I need to create a sql fill command, select Names From Users, then execute that command in the combo box object.

Using vb.net (vs2005), how do I populate a combo box with multiple property values from an object? Right now I'm iterating a collection of objects and adding the name property of each object to the combo box. I'd like to add multiple properties from the object to the list. For now, I'd be happy if they appeared comma separated in the list.

View 5 RepliesVB 2008 .NET 3.5. I have a custom "Shipment" object that contains a list of "ShippingRate" objects. This list of "ShippingRates" is accessible through a property "Shipment.PossibleShippingRates." That property simply returns a copy of the list of "ShippingRate" for that particular Shipment.
My UI layer receives a list of "Shipment" objects from the BLL. This list is databound to a datagridview, and shows details relevant to the Shipment such as Shipping Address, etc.
I want to bind the "Shipment.PossibleShippingRates" property to a combobox, such that when the user changes the grid row, the combobox reflects the "PossibleShippingRates" for that "Shipment."
In addition, I need a way to store the "ShippingRate" they selected from the combobox for later use.
I have tried a few ideas, but none of them work properly.
I have a combo box that is populated with a list of objects (corresponding to all employee rows from a database that meet the criteria IsTech). These are not entity objects though, I have created my own class that stores the member values of each row from the DB. I have set the DisplayMemberPath to EmployeeId so the Combo box display the EmployeeId ( an integer ) member of my object. Ie. right now there are only 2 IsTech employees in my DB so the combobox displays the numbers 3 and 8 ( their EmployeeIDs).

I'm trying to populate the list of a combobox by binding it to a datatable. Also, I want the selected value of the combobox to be bound to an object property so that when the selected value changes, it's automatically updating the object. However it's causing an error at runtime: "This causes two bindings in the collection to bind to the same property.
Parameter name: binding" I thought binding the dropdown list to a datatable and the selected value to an object were different properties but obviously I'm not getting it right.
