As a related question, how come you provided a customized version of the ListView but not the DataGridView? It offers a lot of useful functionality (such as column sorting). I tried to bind a BO directly to the MS DataGridView and it only displays the first row of the result set (leaving the other 189 invisible).

The reason it only shows the first row is because that is the default functionality of the business object.  On the business object that you bound to the grid, set the "IsListSource" property to true, and the other 189 records will be visible.  That property determines how some of the property descriptors are handled.

Kari,

The DevExpress wrapper is just about complete.  We put more work into it to make it more like our standard collection.  We even added some additional functionality into the BrowseDialog that does not exist in the standard BrowseDialog and created a control called an EnhancedList that is similar to the behavior of the standard collections ListView.

We will make the Wrapper available online probably next week for download.  However, there have been some modifications to the framework itself to allow for this type of functionality and we are going to make that available as well first since the DevExpress wrapper will require those changes.

So in short, it will be next week sometime when you can get your hands on the wrapper.  Hope this helps.

I hope You're collecting these gems for the Help file.

Oh, yes, we have a continually growing list of topics that need to be updated and/or written.

Any progress with Infragistics on providing a wrapper for their controls?

We're having a few problems dealing with their legal department.  Essentially, if we create a wrapper, we have to be come a reseller/distributer for them and package their product with ours, like DeKlarit does... the jury is still out, sorry

To solve this in the meantime could you not post a sample file/code so we can use their controls.

Yes, Wayne, the simplest way to implement an inherited Infragistics control would be to copy the source code from a StrataFrame control (such as TextBox) and modify the code file to inherit from the desired Infragistics edit control.  However that requires a purchased license (to give you the source code).  If you don't have a purchased license, then you can find a sample here: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost777.aspx

Hi Thanks,
I have managed to follow the article for an edit box. I was really having trouble with the datagrid from Infragistics.
