BO does not navigates to the new row for editing

Hi,
In my baseclass I try to add new row.
1) I have an Treeview with DataSource as BBS
2) I get reference to BO over BBS.BusinessObject
3) Try to add new record with BO.add()
4) Try to update some properties of BO

As result - I update properties of row, where currently cursor located. and after .Add() pointer does not navigates new row. Why?

Here is completed code for this

If Not IsNothing(Pmks_treeview) Then
If Not IsNothing(Pmks_treeview.DataSource) Then
Dim loBBS As MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessBindingSource = TryCast(Pmks_treeview.DataSource, MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessBindingSource)
If Not IsNothing(loBBS) Then
Dim loBO As MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessLayer = TryCast(loBBS.BusinessObject, MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessLayer)
Dim lcParentId_Field As String = Pmks_treeview.ParentFieldName
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(lcParentId_Field) Then
loBO.Add()
loBO.GetType().GetProperty(lcParentId_Field).SetValue(loBO, tnParentId, Nothing)
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(Pmks_treeview.pmks_group_caption_fieldname) Then
loBO.GetType().GetProperty(Pmks_treeview.pmks_group_caption_fieldname).SetValue(loBO, Pmks_treeview.pmks_default_group_caption, Nothing)
End If
loBO.Save()
End If
End If
End If
End If

Thanks
Denis

Not sure if this applies in your case but be aware that filters in effect can cause this behavior. If you have one set (including the filter implicit in automatically filtering child records against the parent) under some cirumstances this can get weird results in moving to the current row.)

Hi Trent,
Thanks for response,
About BO.item(Fieldname) Ok :))) I see...

About Add new row..

loBO.Add
loBO.MoveLast()

Then update Data - it works perfect.. but just Add - does not navigate row.

Well, first, I cannot give you a straight answer about the tree view as I don't know what control you are using nor how they interpret the IBindingList implementation. So the first thing that you need to do is remove the tree view from the formula altogether and just add a new row through the BBS. Another option is to just drop on a DataGridView and see if it works. This will tell you if the issue is the tree view or some other code.

Second, I don't understand why you are using reflection to set the parent field. You are talking to a BO, so if lcParentId_Field is a column in the underlying data table, then you most definitely don't want to use reflection. You should do this instead:

[codesnippet]loBO.CurrentRow.Item(lcParentId_Field)[/codesnippet]

And if the field is a custom property only, then you could possibly do this depending on how the custom property is defined (GetCustomBindablePropertyDescriptors must know about the property to do this):

[codesnippet]loBO.Item(lcParentId_Field)[/codesnippet]
