I know I started an exhaustive thread on this months ago, but you guys have made some changes to the framework so I have new questions. Hehe

Ok, I'm trying to re-familiarize myself with the BO relationship aspect of the framework. I printed out all the tutorials from the newest version of the help file and re-worked my way through all of the related ones until i got to Tutorial_WinVB_14. Tutorial 14 shows me how to create the child BO and make the necessary settings to link the child BO to the parent.

At the end of tutorial 14 it says: "Designing a child form that will show the use of a business object relationship is beyond the scope of this tutorial."

So now my question is: Since I've worked my way through all the tutorials up through 14 and I want place a grid on the CustomerMaintenance form to show the related orders, how do I do this?

I thought you guys used to have a grid that was simply an inherited version of the Datagridview but I couldnt find it. I tried to drop a standard DataGridView onto the form using a BusinessBindingSource control but that didnt work.

Since there have been some changes to the framework since the last time i asked this question... could you please explain it again?

Thanks

You're correct up until the part about loading the records related to the parent... it doesn't load any records, you have to do that yourself.  What the ChildFormDialog does is allows you to translate business objects between the child form and the parent form so that when the child form launches, it has the exact same business object references as the parent form.  So, you add a record on the child bo, and it shows up in the child business object on the parent form.  So, you can close the child form without having to save the data, because it's in the child business object on the parent form.
