Custom Field Missing

Jeff Pagley — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 14:31:17 GMT

When I am binding the BO.CurrentDataTable to Strataframe.DevEx.ComboBox, the custom field is missing.

Here is the code I am using for binding. The custom field name is "DisplayDescription".

using (CostCodesBO loBO = new CostCodesBO())

{

loBO.FillAll();

cboCostCodes.ValueMember = "coco_PK";

cboCostCodes.DisplayMember = "DisplayDescription";

cboCostCodes.DataSource = loBO.CurrentDataTable;

}

Here is the BO Custom Field code:

protected override MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.FieldPropertyDescriptor[] GetCustomBindablePropertyDescriptors()

{

//--Create and return a new array of FieldPropertyDescriptor objects

return new MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.FieldPropertyDescriptor[] {

new MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.ReflectionPropertyDescriptor("DisplayDescription", typeof(CostCodesBO))};

}

/// <summary>

/// DisplayDescription

/// </summary>

/// <remarks></remarks>

[Browsable(false), BusinessFieldDisplayInEditor(), Description("DisplayDescription"), DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible)]

public System.String DisplayDescription

{

get

{

return String.Format("{0} {1}", this.coco_Number, this.coco_Description);

}

}

Greg,

Sorry guys, I had a lapse in memory. The SF PopulationDataSourceSettings is exactly what I wanted to use.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Adding to Greg's question, shouldn't you be using a SF BusinessBindingSource to bind your grid instead of the BO's data table?

Did you build the app after adding the custom field? And you are using standard ADO.NET binding. Why are you using the SF PopulationDataSourceSettings that you'd set in the UI?
