DataBindings HelpHey everyone...
I have what I hope is a simple question. I have a form with about a dozen controls bound to a databinding source. That datasource is bound to a dataset. Without using a binding navigator, how do I do anything with this thing?? I can't for the life of me figure out how to add, update, etc... Is this possible without the navigator? Thanks!! Hello,
BindingSource component provide some method to add, update records, for example, to add a record, call AddNew() method; to update, call EndEdit() method; to remove a record, call remove() mthod. All these can be done without a navigator. Hope this help, Luke Zhang (This posting is provided "AS IS", with no warranties, and confers no rights.) When I try to make this work I run into a problem. I call addnew and then
should be able to call endedit. However, when I do that I keep getting an error kicked back about null values for columns. This happens with or without data in my columns. Why is it its not recognizing the values I put in my text boxes?? Does this make sense? As an example... If I have a text box called Key and I put something in it I get a null reference error. But, if after calling AddNew I set the value of my textbox via code then it recognizes that value. It seems like maybe I broke something with my databinding but it half way works ...

Was it you that I showed yesterday this sample on our website? http://www.vb-tips.com/default.aspx?ID=c6c7d9a8-7511-41a1-a488-2e91e5295e7c Otherwise I hope this helps, Cor Show quoteHide quote "Andrew Bassett" <Flesrouy@community.nospam> schreef in bericht news:O8NpW7VPGHA.3196@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... > When I try to make this work I run into a problem.

those anywhere ... Thanks for the quick reply, I'm off to explore.

cma = DirectCast(BindingContext(dt), CurrencyManager) I'm having trouble making that work. If I try this... cma = DirectCast(Me.Sites_MBindingSource, CurrencyManager) I get an error stating I cannot convert a binding source to a Currency Manager. How can I make that work?

type some string in it. Then I click a button to call bindingSource1.EndEdit() and this work. Are all of the fileds in bindingSource bound to a control on the form? Before EndEdit(), is each of these controls has a actual value? When you get the exception like Column 'abc' does not allow nulls. You may check if the field 'abc' is bound to a control (for example, a TextBox) and if it has a actual value Luke Zhang (This posting is provided "AS IS", with no warranties, and confers no rights.) You can do same thing without Navigator by using –
'Moves data item First Private Sub btnMoveFirst_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMoveFirst.Click Me.BindingContext(DA, "Employee").Position = 0 End Sub 'Moves data item Last Private Sub btnMoveLast_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMoveLast.Click Me.BindingContext(DA, "Employee").Position = Me.BindingContext(DA, "Employee").Count - 1 End Sub 'Moves data item Next Private Sub btnMoveNext_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMoveNext.Click Me.BindingContext(DA, "Employee").Position -= 1 End Sub 'Moves data item Prev Private Sub btnMovePrev_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnMovePrev.Click Me.BindingContext(DA, "Employee").Position += 1 End Sub 'Add New item Private Sub btnAddNew_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnAddNew.Click Dim instance As BindingNavigator Dim value As ToolStripItem value = instance.AddNewItem instance.AddNewItem = value End Sub 'Delete item Private Sub btnDel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDel.Click Dim instance As BindingNavigator Dim value As ToolStripItem value = instance.DeleteItem instance.DeleteItem = value End Sub You can do the same without Navigator by using –
