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 Thomas,



Yes but the grid is displaying data from the business binding source (bbs) for the bo not the bo itself. Does the bbs' current view contain data?

On my break point I tried this in the Watch Window:

me.myBBS.CurrentView but I could find that.

So I tried me.myBBS.SourceBO.CurrentView and it had Zero(0) Records.



If that is where I should have looked then no wonder the grid has no records. But is that where I should have looked? If so what could I have done wrong in setting up the BBS? Setting up a BBS seems to be so straight forward.



If these are goofy questions I am sorry but I'm a newbie to Strataframe which of course makes me a real newbie to DevExpress.....
