binding doesn't work when updating from another form

hi Pros and Gurus,
in form1 I put the following code:

Code:

---

dim frm as new form2
frm.Form2DS1= Form1Ds1
frm.show

---

in form2 I binded the text boxes to Form2DS1 during design time but when running the application no value is displayed.
:confused:

can you help me??

It's late night here and I dont have a solid explanation why this happens, all I can say is that binding is done before dataset is populated, and strange enough controls are not updated afterwards. As a quick solution move all of your binding statments to form_load event. I will work on it later.

As an alternative solution you can pass dataset of form1 to constructor of form2, but remember that, in this case you dont need to have a new instance of dataset at from2, so you may remove that line from the wizard generated code.

Data Binding is hell . :)

thank you Lunatic3 :D ...:wave:

it works GREAT!!

Although I didn't understand ur second solution but the first one was great enough
