Hi,

I've created a BO and want to bind it to a Dev Express Grid but I just can't work out how to.

I see that if I drop a SF control onto a form the control has a Business Object property that I can use but that property isn't available for a Dev Express Grid control. I've had a look at the Dev Express Wrapper sample (under ..\VB.Net Samples\EnhancedList) and see that Dev Express Grid doesn't have a Business Object property but the Grid's "Run Designer" button is greyed out so I can't see what is going on within the grid itself to see how the data binding is achieved.

Can you please point me in the right direction.

BTW I think your help file is pretty good but it would sure be a lot better if the search facility worked - no matter what search value I use it always returns "no topics found".

TIA - Peter

Hi Peter.

Try dropping a SF BusinessBindingSource on your form. Set its BusinessObject to your BO. Then, you can set your Grid's DataSource to your BusinessBindingSource name.

I believe there was a problem and the guys posted a new help file with the fix. Follow this link and I guess you will be fine.

Hope I could help.

Cheers.

Once again, Ivan's on top of it.  The BBS is the answer to binding a business object to a grid.  And that link will take you to the corrected help file in which the full text search is fixed.
