I've been experiencing some frustrating behavior that I believe may be a MS bug in the Framework. Has anyone else experienced this, know a better way to resolve it, or if it is an actual MS bug
*) I have a DataSet containing 2 tables, A and B
*) There is a 1-to-1 relation between the tables with table A being the parent. (ABrel
*) A DataView is created on table A to allow filtering of the result se
*) 2 Text Boxes are created and Bound to a column in table A and B through the Datavie
-> box1.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", DataView, "col1"
-> box2.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", DataView, "ABrel.col1"
As the DataView's Row filter changes, all appears to work fine. The values displayed in the boxes change as they should, until the filter produces no results. When no results are found, the following occurs
*) box1 goes blank and binding is suspende
*) box2 contains the prior bound value, and is not suspended. This value can be edited and the changes will be made to the prior binding!
Using the Debugger I'm able to confirm the following about the binding contexts
*) BindingContext(DataView) is of type CurrencyManager and is Suspended when no results exist in DataVie
*) BindingContext(DataView, "ABrel") is of type RelatedCurrencyManager and is not Suspended when no results exist in DataView
I assume that this behavior is a bug and not designed for. When a parent is suspended, all children should be suspended as well
The fix I found, is that each time the filter is applied to the DataView I have to perform the following statement
DataView.RowFilter = <new value
if( DataView.Count = 0 ) The
Me.BindingContext(DataView, "ABrel").SuspendBinding(
els
Me.BindingContext(DataView, "ABrel").ResumeBinding(
End I
This seems unnecessary since the Framework automatically handles suspending the parent CurrencyManager: BindingContext(DataView)
Has anyone else encountered this? Do you know why if MS designed it to behave this way
Thanks in advance for any information
