i have a vs2010 program with several grids and comboboxes in a form but when i run the program
as standalone all the formatting is lost in particular the hidden columns appear so i have to load the
layout again
Thanks
This KB article might help.
HOWTO:How can I define columns in the grid at Design-time and bind them at run-time so that some fields of the data are excluded from the grid?
One possibility is that a layout is being loaded at runtime, overwriting the settings you applied at design time. Another is that the data source that is assigned at runtime is not compatible with the layout that was applied at design time. If there are differences in the column structures between the layout and the data source, the layout cannot be applied.
