Good morning. This group has been a great help so far, and it is much
appreciated. Here's my new question.
I want to be able to create a datagrid at runtime, which will have
template columns for editing. I have a table called company that has
a field called business model id. That id is a foreign key to the
business model lookup table. I've created a strongly typed dataset
for company that includes the business model lookup. I bind the
company table within the company dataset to the datagrid, and I've
created two template classes, one for the itemtemplate and one for the
edititemtemplat e. Examples of the templates will be posted below.
Here's the problem, what is the best way, within the template, to get
the text value of the lookup table to display in the item template?
Should I pass the full dataset into the template and look it up that
way? Just pass the datatable? Should I just pass in the value of
what the textbox should be (I don't think this would work, but I'm not
sure)?
Here's what I'd like to happen, if it were my own programming
language, but I'm not sure how to accomplish it: I've got a reference
to the datarow, is there a way to "follow the relationship" within the
typed dataset to get to the text value in the lookup? I've seen some
stuff about GetChildRows, but all documentation I can find on it
refers to using it within a class or page where the dataset is. Is
that the way I should do it, and if so, how?
Thanks again for any help!!!

Check out Dino Esposito's columns on msdn.microsoft. com. In one of them, he
talked about parent-child relationships in a DataSet and binding it to a
"hierarchic al" DataGrid. If I can find the URL, I will post.

I want to remotely load an edititemtemplate into a formview control. I
am currently loading the item templates from .ascx files just fine and
they run the <%# Eval() #> stuff and everything is perfect. The problem
comes when I try to move the working edititemtemplate out of the aspx
file and into an aspx for various reasons. Once the edititemtemplate is
in an ascx file, it seems as though the <%# Bind() #> methods no longer
work correctly....

How can I display the lookup values in a datagrid?
E.g., the datagrid displays a table that contains a ProductID field. I want
to display a Product description from a Product table in that datagrid.
Currently I use a join between the main table and the lookup table to get
the Product description.
Is it possible to use a dropdownlist in the datagrid to display and select
(in Edit mode) the lookup values?
Thank you.

Two-way databinding (as described in

works fine for me if I use it within aspx-files.
However, I would like to use it my codehind file and I don't know how
to get it work since I did not find any equivalent for "Bind" to use in
my ITemplate derived class.
For my ItemTemplate, I use

Earlier this month, there was a posting about this without a definitive
answer.
If you place a Wizard inside a FormView's EditItemTemplate the bound fields
contained within the View will display the data from the fields to which
they are bound; yet they will return null values when the 'Update'
LinkButton is clicked.
The responder thought this might have something to do with naming
containers. If so, this is similar to an issue in...

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
