Binding Text Box to data source?

[Chuki]

I just upgraded from VB6 to VB.NET, and so far I really like VB.NET except I'm either blind and don't see it or what... Yes I am new to VB, I started maybe 4 months ago, and about a week ago finally got me a copy of VB.NET...

I had programmed a very a simple CRM that used Text Box's to display the records. I wanted to re-write the program in .Net to get the feel for .Net But I can't figure out how to assign a datasource and field to a text box in VB6 it was simple, in the properties field I simply selected the source and field...

Thanks for any help!

Did you check the documentation? or MSDN?

textBox.DataBindings.Add("Text", custList, "CustomerID")


where text is the property of the control, custlist is the datatable and CustomerID is the column.

There is an example on simple binding in the .net framework SDK , sample and quickstarts. This should be your starting point.

Goodluck

Thanks for the help, I'll give that a go when I get some time... I haven't really done to much looking through the documentation. Been on the go quite a bit, and I'm still waiting for my 2nd license so I can install VS.NET on my notebook instead of using remote desktop over a dial up connection.

Like I said earlier, try using the visual data tools at first because then you can look at the underlying code when you expand the code. I used the visual tools to start off and thought they were pretty easy to use.
