I have a SF User Control that displays data on a grid. The Edit button displays a maintenance form dialog box so I can maintain the data.  I could not get a child dialog and BO Translations working on the user control, so after two days of failed attempts I decided to try using a SharedDataTableKey, which I found on a number of forum postings. 

I entered a value for the SharedDataTableKey property on my maintenance form business object.  I then entered the same value on the user control business object.  This seemed to give me the results I was expecting, except now anytime I try to access the user control form in Visual Studio I receive the attached error.  If I go into the designer and remove the line that sets the SharedDataTableKey property, I am able to view the user control once again.

So I'm kind of stuck because I can't seem to get either option working correctly.

Thanks,
Tim

 

Can I jump in here? (well, too late to ask)

I've got two forms sharing some BOs. I've set the SharedDataTableKeys for them. In one of them, I will be using an UltraGrid, so I dropped a BusinessBindingSource in it, and as soon as I set its BusinessObject property, I get the "The given key was not present in the dictionary." message. Any advices?

It's looking like a design-time issue.  If the business object is at design-time, it shouldn't be trying to pull the shared DataTable.  Let me check it out; it might take some debugging.  Visual Studio isn't nice enough to give us a stack trace of where the problem is occuring... just the error itself.

Yes, Ben, this is at design time. And, of course, no stack trace... bad Visual Studio
