I am using the latest version of DevExpress and SF in VS 2008. I created a BO and just by using a break point I found that it does have data in it. I also created a Custom Business Binding Source and put in the code so it does appear on my toolBox. I dropped the BO and the BBS on my form. I also have placed a DevExpress Grid on my form.

Using the little black arrow on the top right of the grid(forgot what it is called) I did the following steps:

1. Choose Data Source.

2. Add Project Data Source.

3. Choose Object as data type.

4. Found my BOLib, found my BBS and selected it.

5. It immediately created the databindingsource and put the columns that I want in the grid.

6. I looked at the columns and they have the correct field names in them.

7. Because of #5 and #6 I think the grid is set up correctly?????

8. Run project and the grid shows with the column titles but no data.



What am I missing? TIA.

Hi Terry,



I think you need to be looking at this at run-time. Why not add a button to your form and break when its clicked. You can then look at your grid and its data source in 'real-time' to see what the status is. I can only figure that your BO is empty.



Cheers, Peter

That is exactly what I did. I click the button. Use me.mybo.currentview and use the watch window and the visualizer and I have 311 records. Yet the grid shows absolutely nothing. I'm overlooking something or some switch and I know it but i'll be D...... if I know what it is???? TIA.
