Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply, the datatype is a string, I am retrieving it from the database. I tried using an unbound column and setting its datatype to an object array, however I am not able to assign the column values to the value from the database.

Is there an example on how to implement the solution?

Thanks, Jayson.

Hi Jayson,

I am checking about the progress of this issue. Please let me know If you need any further assistance on this.

Hi Boris,

I left this issue a while ago and now it is coming back to be one of the requirements. I have looked at the forms and I can't find an exact answer. I have also updated to the latest version 11.2.20112.2135 and I am getting the same issue.

You can build a sample so easy by adding a grid and an ultracomboeditor:

Enclosed please find the code, you can copy it and paste it:

Public Class Form1

Private MakeOrdersDataTable As DataTable

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'TEST_DBDataSet.Book1' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
UltraComboEditor1.DataSource = MakeCustomerDataTable()
UltraComboEditor1.CheckedListSettings.CheckBoxStyle = Infragistics.Win.CheckStyle.CheckBox
UltraComboEditor1.CheckedListSettings.CheckBoxAlignment = ContentAlignment.MiddleRight
UltraComboEditor1.CheckedListSettings.EditorValueSource = Infragistics.Win.EditorWithComboValueSource.CheckedItems
UltraComboEditor1.CheckedListSettings.ListSeparator = ", "
UltraComboEditor1.CheckedListSettings.ItemCheckArea = Infragistics.Win.ItemCheckArea.CheckBox

End Sub

Private Sub UltraButton2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UltraButton2.Click
Dim dataSet As New DataSet()
dataSet.Tables.Add(MakeCustomersDataTable)
Me.UltraGrid1.DataSource = dataSet

End Sub

Private Function MakeCustomersDataTable() As DataTable
' Declare a DataTable to contain the program generated data
Dim dataTable As New DataTable("Customers")

Dim colWork As New DataColumn("CustomerID", GetType(Int32))
dataTable.Columns.Add(colWork)

' Add CustomerID column to key array and bind to DataTable
Dim Keys(0) As DataColumn
Keys(0) = colWork
dataTable.PrimaryKey = Keys

' Create and add a CustomerName column
colWork = New DataColumn("CustomerName", GetType(Object))
' colWork.MaxLength = 50
dataTable.Columns.Add(colWork)

' Create and add a LastOrderDate column
colWork = New DataColumn("LastOrderDate", GetType(Date))
dataTable.Columns.Add(colWork)

' Add a row
Dim row As DataRow = dataTable.NewRow()
row("CustomerID") = 1
row("CustomerName") = "John"
row("LastOrderDate") = Now
dataTable.Rows.Add(row)

' Add another row
row = dataTable.NewRow()
row("CustomerID") = 2
row("CustomerName") = "Fred"
row("LastOrderDate") = Now.AddDays(-101)
dataTable.Rows.Add(row)

Return dataTable
End Function

Private Function MakeCustomerDataTable() As DataTable
' Declare a DataTable to contain the program generated data
Dim dataTable As New DataTable("Customer")

Dim colWork As New DataColumn("CustomerName", GetType(String))
colWork.MaxLength = 50
dataTable.Columns.Add(colWork)
Dim row As DataRow = dataTable.NewRow()

row("CustomerName") = "John"

dataTable.Rows.Add(row)

row = dataTable.NewRow()

row("CustomerName") = "Fred"

dataTable.Rows.Add(row)

Return dataTable
End Function

Private Sub UltraGrid1_InitializeLayout(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.InitializeLayoutEventArgs) Handles UltraGrid1.InitializeLayout

e.Layout.Bands(0).Columns("CustomerName").EditorComponent = UltraComboEditor1
e.Layout.Bands(0).Columns("CustomerName").Style = UltraWinGrid.ColumnStyle.DropDownList
e.Layout.Bands(0).Columns("CustomerName").CellActivation = Activation.AllowEdit

End Sub
End Class

When you run the sample:

1) Click on Ultrabutton1 the grid will be poulated.

2) In the Grid CustomerName cfiled lick on the dropdown  and choose 2 values John and Fred.

3) Click on the Ultrabutton again and you will get the error message.

If you want I can attach the sample.

Thanks, Magued  

Hi Magued, 

I can't get your code to compile. Can you put together a small sample project and attach it to your post?

Hi Mike,

Enclosed please find a sample that recreates the issue.

Thanks for the follow up and please send me regarding any questions.

Jayson.

Thanks Mike,

This worked. I currently don't need anything else. As for the support case it is up to development to investigate.  

Regards, Jayson
