setdatabinding

[cj]

VB 2003 allowed datagrid1.datasource = catds.tables("calls") and also
datagrid1.setdatabinding(catds, "calls")

What was the difference? I not sure I ever knew.

Now in VB2005 there is no datagrid but instead a datagridview. It only
offers DataGridView1.DataSource = catds.tables("calls")

I'm getting confused. Why isn't setdatabinding available?

cj,

In 2005 is as well the DataGrid available, it seems that they though that if
you have a plane you don't need a cargoship. A DataGridView is a complete
different control then a DataGrid. You can find the DataGrid when you right
click on your toolbox and then select it.

The DataGridView uses a bindingsource. The DataTable works only with
DataTables and DataSets. A DataGridView can only work with all kind of
single collections (like the DataTable and now too by instance with the new
DBML DataBase with Linq tables). However the DataGridView can not be
databinded to a DataSet like the DataGrid.

works...............

Hi Cj,

VB 2003 allowed datagrid1.datasource = catds.tables("calls") and also

datagrid1.setdatabinding(catds, "calls") What was the difference?

The DataGrid.SetDataBinding method sets the DataSource and DataMember
properties at run time. You can consider this method as a helper method to
set the DataSource and DataMember properties at run time. Note that you
must use the SetDataBinding method at run time to reset the DataSource
property.

>Now in VB2005 there is no datagrid but instead a datagridview. It only

offers DataGridView1.DataSource = catds.tables("calls") Why isn't
setdatabinding available?

Maybe our product team didn't think the SetDataBinding method is necessary
to the DataGridView, so the DataGridView doesn't have a SetDataBinding
method.

Hope this helps.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Sincerely,
