Hi Guys:
I have a ListBox. In it I want to display a Stock Market Ticker Symbol for
each
entry, ok, working as BindingSource linked to a Sql server DataBase Table
Column
for TickerSymbols.
Now, in my Web Version and my Liberty Basic version of the window I added a
second Table column to the Ticker Symbol so the ListBox displayed the
TickerSymbol and the Dividend, for example, on each line.
So I would hear:
MSFT 1%
Or something like that.
Then when I clicked a sort item in a DropDown Menu list, for example
Sort On Dividend
Sort On Total Return
Sort On P/E Ratio
I would ReLoad the ListBox displaying the TickerSymbol followed by the
appropriate Sort Column value
For Example:
MSFT 10% ' for the tot ret perhaps
MSFT 15 for the P/E ratio etc...
In the VWD Version I used Templates and Events to modify and format data before
it was shown. In Liberty Basic I used a loop to reload the text string loaded
into the ListBox.
In Winforms vb.net I can not figure out how to do this if I use the
BindingSource
Control.
I have looked at messing with a DataGridView but nothing pops up googling that
sounds like what I want to do either.
Anyone have an idea or do I need to completely ReWrite my application and not
use
a BindingSource?
That would mean redesigning all the table and other currency and child User
Control interfaces, sorting methodologies and basically a complete program
rewrite.
That would really suck!
I'm not sure whether vb.net is really this bad or whether it is just the
documentation is really this bad, sigh, oh well it is what it is.
Any ideas besides pretty much a complete ReWrite or using another language?
