Hi everyone,
I am newbie in Visual Studio 2008 ( I am moving into this platform from other programming language ).
Actually I am in the middle of selecting 3rd party components for my application.
I have selected Infragistics because of UlraGrid. This component is great and I am considering to buy whole package but ...
I have decided to use LINQ To SQL functionality instead of DataSet to use in my application to do all database management.
I am creating right now all connections to SQL Server using only LINQ and I am trying to avoid DataSets.
My question is : there is any way to use UltraGrid Designer if I have only used LINQ to SQL to bind database with UltraGrid ??
DataCl***DataContext db = new DataCl***DataContext();
var query = from c in db.table_example
select c;
ultraGrid.DataSource = query;
ultraGrid.DataBind();
UltraGrid Designer is asking me about DataSourse but I do not have any :( If not what I have to do
instead ( do I have to do everything manually ? from a code line ? ).
Regards
Peter
Sorry but I don't understand what you ask. Can you please add more details?
Hi Amiram,
I have an issue with Infragistics Win Controls, How to bind the different datasources to a single Layout file using Linq to SQL. As I was using Ultra Grid control, it has to change the layout schema based on the datacontext class object connected, which is its datasource. Could please give me reply as soon as possible...
Thanks,
Siri
I was looking exactly for this !!!
Thx a lot ... Peter
Hi Peter,
I'm using UltraGrid and Linq to Sql and it's working great together.
In order to use the designer you need to:
1. Build the project.
2. Go to the grid properties and open "DataSource" drop down.
3. Click on "Add Project Data Source..."
4. Select "Object".
5. Find your data class (not the data context), select it and click next.
6. Click Finish.
Now you have all the columns at place. You can see also that you have a BindingSource in the bottom of the designer. In runtime, get the data and set it as the bindingSource.DataSource.
