Hello?

Ok, so I tried it two different ways and got the same results... a blank List Population Settings screen.

First I created a SF Maintenance form and the only thing I dropped on it was a SF Browse dialog. I set the Search Field to LocationID and then setup the BO using the LocationsBO. I clicked Ok until I was back to the form.... saved it and went back in and the List Population Settings came up blank.

Secondly, I did the same thing with just a standard SF Form... didnt know if there might have been something different between a maintenance form and a standard form.

Hmmm....

hehe...got it.  I know that there is something within your environment that is causing the problem because this is something that is done in high volume...so I would like to figure out what is going on within your project so we can help prevent it in the future!

OK. thanks, i'll digg in. Digg in.... get it?

You are having a serialization issue with your form.  This means that when you make changes the designer does not add all of the designer code.  This can happen under a lot of different circumstances.  If you simply take and create a new SF maintenance form, drop on the browse dialog, and add the search fields, etc.  The form designer will serialize the collections and settings properly.  Without actually getting my hands on your form and project I cannot tell you why your browse dialog settings are not being properly serialized.

The first test would be to create a new form with a new browsedialog to see if all of the settings "stick" then start to work backwards to see what is the catalist in your environment.

It happens when I use a BO as a search field in a browse dialog. Below are a couple of screenshots to help illustrate.

P.S. The second image illustrates a problem with browse dialogs that I mentioned about the DevExpress wrapped one...it appears it is doing the same thing with the StrataFrame one. Not sure if the problem is related.

This can come from a number of different places...where are you getting it?  It is most likley a BO data source or localization key that is being requested and does not exist in the environment.

Any idea as to why I would get this error? I searched the forum and only found one other post and I'm not sure that the previous thread applies to me.
