Been banging my head on this one. Just can't see why it doesn't work. I have followed the previous messages on doing this but the errors just change depending on what I do next.

I have the latest beta 1.6.7 of SF and V8.3.4 of DeveloperExpress Components.

I have discovered that the Enhancelist doesn't work properly if you choose methods such as CopyDataFrom. Is this by design?

Having looked at the source, the CreateDataSource method, only allows for a methodname, and a single parameter to follow. CopyDatafrom needs 2 parameters, thereby it all goes to cock if you use this and it throws the business object couldn't be populated exception.

Now, I have modified the source for the EL, but I must admit I would prefer a solution from you guys if possible. The problem I am getting is in the actual list, I cannot see the data. There are no apparent columns defined (even if I do them myself) but I can click on the list area and it looks like something is being selected, I just can't see it.

I have tried many combinations of columns named 'Col' (with a number), tried using the actual column names in my BO, nothing seems to want to play.

Can I use the EnhancedList for the same purpose I would use the default Devx Gridcontrol, or is the EL constrained to be a simple list?

As always, more than happy to be wrong, or to have missed something really simple

thanks for any help guys

I have now resolved the first issue. The error was all mine, as expected, and it was the methodtoexecute property. I had used semi-colons as the delimeter all the way across, rather than just after the method name. I have now resolved this so thats great thanks for the help there.

My final issue, is actually seeing the data in the enhancedlist. Everything is being populated I can click rows in the grid and if I debug, the data is present.

Want I cannot see is the data in the grid. I know this is a devexpress thing, I just can't remember what.

The area where the blue bar is where the data should be. I just can't see it. Any ideas?

thanks for helping me sort the previous issues.

best
