I'm trying to set up a Child Form.I 've set up the Parent and Child Business Objects. I've dropped both on a SF Maintenece form. I've set up a PageFrame , one of the tabs is the Child Form. I have dropped a BusinessBindingSource on the form and set its datasource as the child bus object. I have also set the ParentBusinessObject of the childbuiness object on the form.I am displaying all fields in the child.

As I naviagte through the patrent, I would expect to see the childdren in the grid, as the parent is navigated to...but nothing is appearing in the child grid.

Should this behaviour be automatic, or is there someting I need to do to 'GET'the children into the grid ?

Hi Gerard,

Yes it does matter, since the FillByPrimaryKey will identify the defined PrimaryKey field(s) in the parent. I believe you will have to create your own FillBy method in the child BO and use that instead.

Edhy is correct.  You will just need to create your own Fill method to load the records that you need based on the specified parent record.  So just create a Fill method on the child BO and call that Fill method on the Navigated event.

Hi Gerard,



Here is a code I use in a child BO:





After creating this method, compile your BO library or your solution then use that method instead of the FillByParentPrimaryKey().
