I just checked out the TextBox properties in VS 2008 and you are right! No more Binding Source property, if there was one in vs 2005, I don't remember but all the docs mention using it for binding! So another undocumented, major, change in how to do things as you noted. Great! How are we suppose to get any work done when they change up things without big notices? If I was on a contract I'd waste time trying to guess how to handle the problem and clients don't care about MS's manic propencity to change things and provide no, or unfindable, documentation about it. So, give me a few keywords to google so I can research this latest mess. DataSource Binding what did you say Read Class or something and what exactly is the source control called this time? Note: if you already did this for my last post ignore it. I am just confirming what you found about the TextBox BindingSource having been removed, again if it was ever there and I'm pretty sure it was.

Good Morning Charles:I'm not sure what you mean but am glad it's working. So, if there is no longer, if there was, a binding source property for the TextBox then you somehow used a property in the DataSource to bind to the TextBox or did you read the DataSource and pick off the field you wanted and manually assign it to the TextBox in a button click or some other type of event? Are you using vs 2008 and are you working in native mode, the regular designer, or are you working in WPF or another new thingy? Just curious about Simple DataBinding, is it outdated and not usable anymore?Rick Farmington Mich. USA----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles E.

I have already gotten the solution. However, I appreciate your assistance! The textbox doesn't have a dataBind option. It seems that they took the work out of creating the datasource and placed it in reading the datasource. Just like Microsoft: change somethingthe other way around and then charge people for it!

I did a google on:TextBox Simple DataBinding Vb.net and got allot of hits so I'm guessing I'mnot getting the problem correctly. Can you give an example of what you are trying to do? Exactly what type of DataSource or are you using the Sql DataSource?Is there no property for the Binding thingy in the TextBox properties? And,just to make sure, You are working in Vb.net and not building a Website? Rick Farmington Mich. USA----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles E.

Not sure that makes adiference but well could. What you are trying to do sounds like SimpleDataBinding. I'll take a look into some syntax when I know what language youare working in. In the meantime, look at Simple DataBinding. That isn't really simple but means you bind one field in a table to one thingy like a Textbox or Label control. Rick Farmington Mich.

I also have atextbox. I need to get the information from the datasource, from one fieldof a table, and have it fill the textbox. I thought about using a dataBinding thing but discovered that the textbox doesn't have a bindingmethod. How else might I populate a textbox named txtMessage with a Subjectfield from a dataset named SqlDataSource1. Thanks! Charles Black 4127 Pinehaven Ct.
