In my web project, I can set the PopulationDataSource on a ListView control and have no problems. But using the same properties for a ListBox control, design view has an error box wher the list box should be with the following error:

ListBox - ListBox1
There was an error rendering the control.
'GroupBO|GetGroups;|Description,|{0}|GroupCode' could not be set on property 'PopulationDataSourceSettings'

PopulationType is set to BusinessObject and BusinessObjectName is set to the web form's instance of the GroupBO, set correctlyi in ApplicationBasePage.cs.

Suggestions? I'm sure it's a beginner's mistake. This is my first attempt at a web app with the framework since last month.

Nope, the PopulationDataSourceSettings is an inner property, so you can set the properties as an XML node within the list itself.  The way you have it is probably the best way to do it.

Why would the property editor create source that used the pipe-delimited format then?



And why does my text editor think that the element is not allowed there? Is there any way to fix this?
