Hi, I am a recent Microsoft-land programmer who has swallowed the blue pill and converted to LabVIEW and I was trying to get databinding working in the LabVIEW environment as if I was in .NET.
I am attempting the following from LabVIEW (and .NET 2.0):
(1) Create a System.Data.DataSet object, create one DataTable and populate it with two rows of data.
(2) After I create this dataset, I use the regular .NET functions (via LabVIEW) to verify that the data is accessible and properly written to such DataSet.
(3) I then databind this dataset to a DataGridVIEW control that I have placed inside of a .NET container on my Front Panel.
Unfortunately, for some reason the databinding fails. I have written my own custom controls and have already verified that passing a DataSet to a .NET control works, so before I dig into all of the Microsoft Whitepapers and reinvent the wheel several times, can anybody tell me if they have had any success using .NET controls and databinding in LabVIEW? My goal is to use .NET controls (as advertised by NI) in my LabVIEW programs so that I can harness the power of these .NET controls instead of having to use the controls that already come pre-package with LabVIEW.
I will post my results as I continue my investigation into this.
Thanks,
John
