I have a form with a ListBox and would like to set the DataSource property
at design-time but I can't seem to declare any kind of variable that will
show up in the list. I have tried a traditional array, ArrayList,
Collection as public vars in the Form Class's Declarations section. Setting
the DataSource property to any of these works fine at run time.
I want to do it at design time because after I change the Collection, it
doesn't update it in the ListBox, even though breaking showed that the
Collection.Coun t property had gone up. I first add to it in code with
Coll.Add("XXX") and it shows up fine, before and after binding. But I try
to do this: Coll.Add(TextBo x1.Text) and it doesn't show up in the ListBox
but is apparently being added to the collection object just fine.
Any answer to either of these questions would be helpful
Thanks,

Hi Stephen,
Since the refresh of ListBox doesn't work when items are added or removed
from the arraylist, the simplest workaround is to reset the DataSource
property of the ListBox. you can try the following code to achieve this.
arraylist.Add(" Whatever")
listbox.DataSou rce = Nothing
listbox.DataSou rce = arraylist
You cannot omit the second line, because if you simply set the
listbox.DataSou rce to arraylist, the listbox will check if the new
DataSource is the same as the old one. (The listbox doesn't know that the
arraylist has changed, it only knows that they are the same object
reference.)
Does this answer your question? If anything is unclear, please feel free to
reply to the post.

I am writing a data access layer for a web service. Data from the web

Hi,
I've got a web label control which I set a databind expression on the Text
attribute in the html for the page (aspx file).
At runtime, I want to override this attribute, so before I do
MyLabel.databind() (or actually Page.DataBind()), I set Text to "".
This doesn't work because then the databind comes along and redefines the
Text attribute.

I binding controls to a dataset at design time.
I find the checkboxs will cause the program crash when one of these
databinding fields is dbnull.
The only way for me is not set databindings for the checkboxs and adding
code after fill the dataset and before update the dataset.
I bind them to the checked property
Is there some easy way to set databinding for checkbox?
Thanks

My company is just starting development of a new project using VB.NET.
The question I have is, since the release of VS 2005 and the 2.0 Framework
comming out soon, should we start developing with the Beta version? Or
should we stick to 2003 & the 1.1 framework. 2005 will be released before
we are even halfway done with the project, and I am anxious to take
advantage of some of the new features.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
