In VB6 it seemed as though bound controls (textboxes, etc) were kind of the newbie way to do
things, but were generally not good coding practice. Is this something that is different with
..NET? With the new data access methods is this the general way to display data? It seems easier,
but I guess i have some residual VB6 feelings about using bound controls.
Thanks

I read your post and wanted to answer, but due to a lack of experience in
data bound controls in VB.NET - for the same reason you mentioned - I didn't
answer. You see, this is also an answer. :-) (which means that databinding
is still something "behind the scenes" that I still don't trust)

Rick: I'll suggest that "binding" if you mean tying directly to the
persistent storage (a table in the database) is still a poor alternative.
If you mean binding a control to an object with business rules and control
logic then I think it is probably a good thing.
Like so many "rules" that are discussed it isn't the use but rather the
abuse that causes the problems.
I agree Armin.......I always write the data I need the control to have to an
array and have the array and the control communicate.

Hi,
I've noticed a bug in VB.NET (latest .NET Framework)...
- I have a TabControl on a form with several tabs.
- Each tab contains text boxes that are bound to fields in a data source
(DataBindings).
- When I display a record and then try to access the .Text property of one
of the text boxes on any tab except the current tab, the result is an Empty
string.

Hi-
I've seen this problem discussed a jillion times but I cannot seem to
implement any advice that makes it work. I am porting a large project from
VB6 to .NET. The issue is using the combo box bound to a table as a lookup,
drawing values from another table to populate the available selections. This
all worked fine in VB6.
I have distilled the problem down to a simple form drawing data from the
Northwind database for a representative...

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.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
