Hi,
I really hope someone can help me out here.
In relation to this thread ( http://www.thescripts. com/forum/thread349557.ht ml ) I'm having a similar issue and getting nowhere fast!
In a nutshell I have a MDI Container which can load up several forms.
Upon loading of a form, I want this form to either access or load a dataset and populate controls that have been bound to various fields of the dataset.
Likewise, should I load a different form, I want this 'new' form to load THE SAME dataset that is used on the first form, and any changes made on the first form reflected on the second and vice versa.
I emphasise "the same" dataset in the form for the following reason:
Suppose a dataset contains a field, with a value of "John"
Form 1 opens up the dataset, and changes "John" to "Jim". Form 2 is opened and shows the reflected changes to Form 1's dataset.
However... Form 3 can be opened (totally independent) which simply looks at the dataset before any changes, and so needs to read "John".
If the user saves the dataset in Form 1, or Form 2 with the field changed to "Jim", then all 3 forms will have the same data.
Did I explain that well?
One of the problems I foresee, which I'm sure someone will be able to answer is this:
Suppose Form 1 has it's dataset and works a-ok. A standard form with a dataset, populated from a SQL server, no problems at all.
When I come to design Form 2, which uses the same dataset as Form 1, how do I test my program at design time seeing as Form 1 has never actually been run in the first place?
I really could do with some help on this as I've spent days trying to work out something like setting Datasets to Shared, Friend, Public, references galore, and I'm just hitting brick walls.
Thanks in advance,

The idea started as a single sign on type of application. Having tested it
before, I knew we could institute single sign on using the same
Authentication Cookie name (in this case "AuthenticationCookie" -- yeah,
original, I know) and the same machine keys for the applications.
<authentication mode="Forms">
<forms name="AuthenticationCookie" path="/"
loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="10" />

Is there a way to share a datase across multiple forms in a project? I have
created a DataSet, using the Wizards, and bound several controls on my main
form. All works well. Now I would like to use the DataSet data with
controls on several Dialog forms in the same project. Is the a way to
make/create a "global" DataSet for all objects in the same project?

reflected in the main form. At first I was actually passing a reference of
the dataset to the "modify" form...

I have 2 forms, on 1 form i use the wizards to create a strong typed dataset

can see it the datatables etc etc.
Is there anyway when i open the second form that this information that has
already been loaded into my in-memory dataset be available on all my other
forms... and still be strong...

Hi All,
I'm New to VS.net. Trying to figure out this new dataset thingy.
Ok so I add a dataadapter with all the correct properties for a table. Then
generate the dataset. Now open the dataset and drag another table from the
server explorer, set up some relations there. Set up two grids, one a s a
parent one as a chgild. Fill the dataset, run the form
But my child grid never gets any records.
I then added another datadapter for the child...

Hi,
I am wondering if there is a way to share a Dataset object on the main form
of my C# App between other forms that I can bind other forms controls to
this dataset (designer is not aware of a public member of the mdi parent
form)?
Or any better practice than sharing a dataset among forms? I need a
centeral managable access to the database!
thanks

I have come across the situation several times where a number of forms
in an app use the same datasource, for example to populate a combo
drop-down. I'm sure we've all had this. Using the IDE results in
every form getting its own Dataset, BindingSource and TableAdapter,
plus code in the Open event to fill the table in the dataset. This
strikes me as incredibly inefficient - there is simply no need for
every form to go to the database to...
