New C# Component

Bill Cunnien — Mon, 05 May 2008 10:12:24 GMT

I have seen the design of a VB component that inherits from BusinessBindingSource; however, I cannot see to create a C# component that does the same thing (my VB to C# translation skills are not always up to par). My goal is to create an extended component for a specific business object. The XBBS will be dropped onto an XtraReport as a datasource. Any pointers would be appreciated?

Yup...you got it figured out. Looks good :)

The catch...close the solution. Then, reopen it and add the item manually to the appropriate tab in the toolbox.

So far, so good...now, on to the report.

After adding a new component to the project, I altered the code to look like this:

using Aspire.Model;
using MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business;
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Text;

namespace Aspire.Shipping.Datasources
{
    public partial class PackingListDS : BusinessBindingSource
    {
        public PackingListDS()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.BusinessObject = new PackingListBO();
        }
        public PackingListDS(IContainer container)
        {
            container.Add(this);
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

I did nothing to the designer.cs file. Is this correct? How do I get the component added to the toolbox?

Thanks,
Bill
