Binding problems

OK, I am using the BindingManagerBase to bind textboxes, comboboxes, checkboxes to a dataset. I would like to know if there is a better way because I am having so many problems. In VB6 I used an Ado control for the binding and the AddNew, Delete, Save, Cancel functions worked fine. These functions suck with BMB.

Couple of my problems:
1. AddNew function does not clear controls because of some of the binding methods with the comboboxes and checkboxes and I think because of this:
AddHandler b.Format, AddressOf DecimalToCurrencyString
AddHandler b.Parse, AddressOf CurrencyStringToDecimal
Any ideas why? Is there a fix for this?

2. If I insert a record to the table what is the best way to update the BindingManagerBase object?
I tried clearing and filling dataset but then what? This seems to cause errors:
dsTemp.Clear()
daTemp.Fill(dsTemp, "Temp")
bmdTemp.Position = bmbTemp.Count

You could just learn a bit of SQL and use a boundless dataset to accomplish everything.

I've never been a big fan of databinding controls, especially the ones in VB6. They generally commit when I don't want them to.

What kind of response is that? Do I look like an idiot? Okay, don't answer that. I know SQL. I am trying to learn ADO.Net.
I want bound controls to a dataset with controls on form to scroll through the dataset. I want to be able to add new records, delete, cancel and update using the BindingManagerBase.

I completely agree with you . I hate binding too . Binding never solve problems but brings all kinds of troubles and bugs .

Hey, I have an idea! Why don't you try to answer the question instead of suggesting nonsense?? Oh, I guess because you have no friggin idea. Seriously, where's the expert forum?

lol ...I suggest what rdove said :D .

I dont think you need to update the binding manager. You need to refresh it. I am sure the Currency Manager has Refresh method, not sure about BindingManagerBase.

Thats probably about right because most people here wouldn't be caught dead using a databinding control. Therefore nobody knows how to use it.

And the experts will tell you to steer clear just as I have.

Post a sample project that recreates the problem and maybe we'll take a look and try to help.

Do people still hate binding?

Wpoof

I hate it to :D
