Problem with databinding in a composite control

Hi:

I'm creating some composite custom server controls that combine user
interface element and a validation control. One such control combines a
dropdownlist and required field validator. The problem is when I want to
use it on a form, how do I get a reference to the dropdownlist contained
within the control to call databind method? Also, if I call databind within
server control, it works but viewstate doesn't work. Does any know of any
example of how to do this?

Thanks,
Charlie

Hi,

you would need to expose the DDL out as a property (or then expose certain
strategic properties like DataSource out from the control, and override
DataBind method, and call straight that of your composite control when
databinding
)

Hi there: I've read an excellent "how to"-article by Microsoft (no. 306227) - partly cited cited at the end of this email). I have implemented the code related to the part "How to Add a CheckBox Programmatically" in my code. I have changed it to use a OLDDB.DBReader to populate the datagrid and for the databinding. It works perfectly - also when using the edit-mode in the datagrid.

I'm trying to implement databinding on a composite control and I'm getting an error with the data when I change the DataSource. The first time I set the DataSource and call DataBind() everything works fine, but when I set the DataSource to a new value (DataTable) and then call DataBind again, I get some strange results from the command events of some embedded ImageButton controls... althought the data appears to be displayed correctly, the...

L.S., Hello is there a way to implement 2-way databinding without using the datasources from dotnet 2.0. Why would you ask? Now that's simple. I've created an object model with BusinessObjects and I don't want to write an separate provider layer for the datasources. This is because I loose all the benefits of my objectmodel. Are there other developers who think this way?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
