I could not find any properties in the actual BBS that pointed at the BO.

The properties of the BBS instance on the form shows all of the columns of the BO But I don't see that it points directly at the BO with it's name in some property. Also, the ! was a keyboard mistake or a frustration mistake. Sorry about that.

Since I put the BBS on my toolbox and drug it to the form I don't need a statement like this do I? But if I do where would it be put?



Dim myBBS as customersBBS

Hi Terry,



In the properties of your BBS "BusinessObject" needs to point to the BO that contains the data - does it?



Also in the line "me.customersBBS!.BusinessObject.Currentview and it had NO DATA" I see that there is an explanation point after BBS - is this just a typo in your post or something more meaningful?



Cheers, Peter

Alright here is what my ParentFormLoading looks like:

 Private Sub Customers_ParentFormLoading() Handles Me.ParentFormLoading

        Me.FillDataTable("select cust_lastname,cust_firstname from customers order by cust_lastname")

  End Sub

I put a break point on the "me" statement and after I continued one line in the watch window I put:

me.currentview and looked at the visualizer and it had the data. I could not find out how to look at the BBS data there. Is there a way? Then I continued back to the form and the gird had No Data..... I still had a break point on the click of a button and I looked at these:

me.customers1.currentview and it had data.

me.customersBBS!.BusinessObject.Currentview and it had NO DATA.

Again thank you for all the help and time.

Hi Terry,



The call Me.Customers1.fillalldata() should be in the ParentFromLoading event of your BO. This way, whenever you drop the BO onto a form, it will just 'fill'. The way you have it at the moment you will need to execute Me.Customers1.fillalldata() in every form that is using the BO. So, why don't you make that change anyway but I don't know that it will help your problem much.



I would then put a breakpoint on the line and see what the status is after fillalldata runs. On the question of fillalldata this is obviously custom code - are you sure it works?



Why don't you try the basic SF method of: Me.Customers1.FillDataTable("put your Select * code in here") to see what happens.





Cheers, Peter

OK thanks.........

Well, you still have 8.2 references in either the designer file or the licenses.lic file (or both) which is producing this error. I have sent an email to DevExpress about giving us another license to work with so that I can get on 9.1. We have been seeing a lot more errors since some of our users have moved over to 9.1, so if I get the newer license, then I will recompile the sample and re-post it.

I replaced all the references from 8.2 to 9.1 and rebuilt the solution. I run and I get this error? I also replaced the grid with the new 9.1 grid.

Remember I am not very good at this yet.....

No problem, just wanted to make sure that it worked. Thanks.

Op's Trent I missed your reply this morning. I will look at the sample. Thank you so very much........ I will get back to you.

Terry, did you download my sample and see if it worked in your development environment?
