Hi,
I am seeing this behavior in StrataFrame:
When calling .NewRow() inside one of the BO methods, the current row position doesn't change to the new row as per documentation.
this.NewRow();
Debug.WriteLine(this["IndexId"].ToString()); //Expect to see -1, but it's not the case
Debug.WriteLine(this.CurrentRow.RowState.ToString()); //Expect to see 'Added', but get 'Unchanged' instead
Either I am doing something wrong or it's a bug in SF

Howdy  I just double checked this and it is working as designed on my end. Have you looked at the CurrentDataTable to ensure that it is adding a new row, and the problem is that the pointer isn't moving? Also, have you tried making a little test project to simplify things and making sure that this happens there too? There is probably something set on the business object that is keeping it from creating that new row, but off the top of my head I'm not sure what that might be. Let's start by checking those two things and we'll get to the bottom of it .

Thanks Dustin,
Yes, it's very strange. It works fine in other BOs wherever I use .NewRow(). It's only in this particular BO where I am having this problem. And there's nothing special about this particular object. Other than .NewRow() is called inside BO's method and not outside SF form for example.
I do see new row being added in the underlying DataTable. And I can navigate to it manually, in fact this is the work out I implemented for now until I can find what's causing this problem.
Thanks

As you can see the code is very much modularize, .NewRow() is one line in 2 lines "ImportNewSpecRow" function . But here's all the relevant code context:
protected virtual void ImportSpecsDataTable(DataTable specsTable, ImportSpecsOption options)
{
foreach (DataRow dr in specsTable.Rows)
{
if (options == ImportSpecsOption.DeleteAndInsert)
ImportNewSpecRow(dr); // will call .NewRow
else
MergeSpecRow(dr);
}
}
protected virtual void MergeSpecRow(DataRow dr)
{
int indexId = -1;
string pkFieldName = this.PrimaryKeyField;
if (dr[pkFieldName] != null && !dr[pkFieldName].ToString().Equals(string.Empty))
indexId = int.Parse(dr[pkFieldName].ToString());
if (IsIndexIdinBO(indexId))
CopyDataFromDRtoCurrentRow(dr);
else
ImportNewSpecRow(dr); // will call .NewRow
}
protected virtual void ImportNewSpecRow(DataRow dr)
{
this.NewRow(); //Problem is here. Debug.Write(this.CurrentRow.RowState.ToString()) outputs 'Unchanged', but 'Added' is expected
NaviagateToNewRow(); //This is the work around for .NewRow() not navigating to the NewRow
CopyDataFromDRtoCurrentRow(dr); //this function needs this.CurrentRow to be new Row
}
protected void NaviagateToNewRow()
{
if (this.CurrentRow.RowState == DataRowState.Added)
return;
if (this.PrimaryKeyFields.Length > 1)
throw new ApplicationException("Failed to Naviage to the new row");
this.CurrentView.Sort = this.PrimaryKeyField + " asc";
int minId = int.Parse(this.CurrentView[0][this.PrimaryKeyField].ToString());
this.CurrentView.Sort = string.Empty;
this.NavigateToPrimaryKey(minId);
}
I should also mention that the callstack is ImportSpecsDataTable -> MergeSpecRow -> ImportNewSpecRow -> this.NewRow().
Hope it helps.

If you are using a BBS and under certain other conditions, there was a bug where the index would not move. This was ono a different thread wth Anrdia and another with Greg and was fixed a while back. If you load the most recent beta this has already been addressed. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the final build before I can give you an assembly to resolve this issue.Go here: http://forum.strataframe.net/FindPost21409.aspx and look at #19.

Hi Trent,
I've installed the latest beta version from the link you provided, but it didn't resolve this issue. It's still happening. 
Can you advise if there's anything I need to do?
Thanks

You will have to provide a sample then as I know that this works. Most likely there is something in your code that is preventing the record from moving or moving it back. Please provide a sample so that we can look.

Hi Trent,
You are absolutely right; there's probably something in my code. I tried to isolate this problem in a smaller test project. So, I created a new project with test BO, BusinessBundingSource, DataGridView, and an Add Button, but I wasn't able to reproduce it.
While in the original project where it's happening, I have some additional code in SetDefaultValues event of a base class. Probably something in there that offsetting the record position.
I am going to do more research on my end. Hopefully I can crack this thing on my own here, if not we will be chatting again
Thanks for your help.
