I have an interesting problem that I have been trying to figure out for a while now and I was hoping someone out there could point out the (most likely obvious) problem. I have code similar to the following.

Code Snippet

public void BindTestResultCodeDetails()

{

txtName.DataBindings.Clear();

if (mdsDetails.Tables.Count > 0)

{

if (mdsDetails.Tables[ResultRuleDA.TN_TEST_RESULT_RULE].Rows.Count > 0)

{

BindingContext[mdsDetails, ResultRuleDA.TN_TEST_RESULT_RULE].ResumeBinding();

txtName.DataBindings.Add("Text", mdsDetails.Tables[ResultRuleDA.TN_TEST_RESULT_RULE], ResultRuleDA.FN_TRR_NAME);

}

msdDetails is populated with a table named 'TestResultRule' with one rowwhena list box is populatedand the first item is selected in code.'TestResultRule' is the string value contained in ResultRuleDA.TN_TEST_RESULT_RULE. Looking at mdsDetails.Tables[ResultRuleDA.TN_TEST_RESULT_RULE].Rows[0][ResultRuleDA.FN_TRR_NAME] returns the expected value. However, at the end od the method call txtName.Text is still "". mdsDetails is populated in response to a mouse click on a list box after the form is displayed as well. When this happens - the binding happens as exprected. mdsDetails isainstance variable that isset to a valueimmediatelyprior to the above method beingcalled.Anyone got any suggestions?

Hi Michael,

Is the txtName visible when it is created?

If a control is not visible when it is created, and then it is bound to a data source, the value in the data source won't be pushed to the control and the value in the control won't be sent back to the data source either, even if we call the BindingManagerBase.EndCurrentEdit method. Once the control becomes visible, data binding will push the value in the data source to the control.

If this is not the case, could you please reproduce the problem in a simple project and send it to me? To get my actual email address, remove 'online' from my displayed email address.

Why did MS change this for SP1? It worked fine without the SP. I have a similar issue where the form worked fine for me but not a co-worker who has SP1 installed. I installed it, and now the form does not work on my machine anymore. Why would you take functionality away? Makes no sense to me. I am going on hour 6 of trying to find a way to update my dgv using the da. And yes all of the basics are covered for the update and select.
