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,



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

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
