    Mobile Development using VS2008 SQL CE for Smart Device

    Should I get a BindingNavigator when I drag and drop my dataset onto the datagrid that I've placed onto my form? I'm using SQL CE, get the bindingsources, tableadapters, and the columns show up on my form, but do not get a BindingNavigator.
    Do I need to add one manually, or is this not an option on mobile device development in VS 2008?

    If there is no bindingNavigator, then how would I allow the datagrid access to CRUD (create, update, delete) actions. Or, did I go wrong by using a datagrid? The other options was text boxes on a panel.

    Have you tried dropping a bindingnavigator on to your form and binding it to the grid to see what happens?

    that's the problem; I don't get a bindingnavigator in my toolbox, and I'm not sure why. I tried choosing from tools and it still doesn't show up, which is why I was wondering if it's not an option for either SQL CE or VB for Visual Studio 2008. If it should be there, then I can try to locate the tool. Or, is it a control?

    Sorry - I must have been miles away, or on a desktop project.

    You are quite correct - there is no control. You need to handle it yourself by using a text box. You could do it Excel style by having a text box on your screen, or by placing the text box over the cell on the grid, and faking it.

    If you search, there are articles on how to do this.
