I am using the latest version of DevExpress and SF in VS 2008. I created a BO and just by using a break point I found that it does have data in it. I also created a Custom Business Binding Source and put in the code so it does appear on my toolBox. I dropped the BO and the BBS on my form. I also have placed a DevExpress Grid on my form.

Using the little black arrow on the top right of the grid(forgot what it is called) I did the following steps:

1. Choose Data Source.

2. Add Project Data Source.

3. Choose Object as data type.

4. Found my BOLib, found my BBS and selected it.

5. It immediately created the databindingsource and put the columns that I want in the grid.

6. I looked at the columns and they have the correct field names in them.

7. Because of #5 and #6 I think the grid is set up correctly?????

8. Run project and the grid shows with the column titles but no data.



What am I missing? TIA.

I replaced all the references from 8.2 to 9.1 and rebuilt the solution. I run and I get this error? I also replaced the grid with the new 9.1 grid.

Remember I am not very good at this yet.....

Well, you still have 8.2 references in either the designer file or the licenses.lic file (or both) which is producing this error. I have sent an email to DevExpress about giving us another license to work with so that I can get on 9.1. We have been seeing a lot more errors since some of our users have moved over to 9.1, so if I get the newer license, then I will recompile the sample and re-post it.

OK thanks.........
