I cant see what is wrong with ur code...at least not to the point where the command line would give u the error ur stating, unless ur querying ParentForm.StatusBar when its out of scope although I doubt that. Whats even wierder is that, if I'm not misunderstanding, when ur application runs, your not getting any exception. Just to cover all possibilities, I'll ask u to post some more code once again...sorry :p : Please post ur StatusBar property.

yip I think it was the dynamic help that was hiding behind my properties. Thanks

:) That's it, thanks. Sorry for the dumass question, I won't do it again for a couple days.

that makes sense. Thanks

Hi Have a look at http://www.mono-project.com. They've got a plugin module for apache under the downloads section. I haven't used this one myself, but it might be worth a try! (Mono is a development platform based on the .NET framework - you'll have to install it before using the plugin mod. Advantage is that you can use this under Linux as well) ehuysamer

ok, I figured that sometime there was a few different sprocs that were run, that passing in the connection would prevent the opening and closing of each one, but I see how keeping everything together is a good thing as well. Thanks for the tips

oops I will get those up in a bit, but right now some other changes have to get worked out first. thx

this does work in most scenarios, but i've had problems with doing it this way. say for instance you only have one row displayed in the datagrid? you can't change the position and therefore the data doesn't get saved. the proper way of handling this situation is manually calling EndEdit() for the datagrid, or the underlying datasource. hope this helps. -jim

I am having a hard time getting the getChanges to retrieve the changes that were performed on the last row of the data. Since the user is not able to create rows, nothing really happens when the hit the enter key on the last line. I suppose I could always have an extra blank row at the bottom of the grid, but is there a better way to deal with this?

seeing as there is only one table that is being updated maybe I just assign the update string...sometimes I am a little slo

Thanks for the help. Actually the error message was pretty descriptive. In the different styles that I had there was column mapping names that were the same and it doesn't like that, but it is easy to change. Everything is working awesome now. Thanks again.

instead I just inserted all the required data into the list view and set the widths to zero. I am not sure if this is the best way or not, but it works.

thanks, I never thought it would be done like that. I will see what I can do.

what if you want different table styles pointing to the same table. The app that I am working on is one that is used to correct tests. There is more than one type of error. Right now I have all the data being retrieved and thrown into the same table. I may have to change this is base the query on the correction mode and insert the data into different datatables, I really should do this, but I am still curious of the present problem. I would like to create tablestyles, which I though that I did, so that in the different correction modes different columns are displayed, but I get an error when I try to do this: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll Additional information: The data grid table styles collection already contains a table style with the same mapping name. Now they are the same mapping name, because the mapping name is the name of the table right? Thanks for the help

Depending on how your projects are written, you can't just "merge" the two together. You'll most likely have to copy the files into one of the projects and modify them to use a common namespace. The only other way to do it would be to add the two projects in question to the same Solution. Either way, you'll have to modify the code to work.
