argument exception

hi all

iam having an application that gets a dataset producses a dataview from it and then

populates a group of text boxes with its values based on date filter choosen by user from date drop down list

the problem iam having is an argument exception happens when i try binding data to the text box

here is the initialization

Private fluidBalanceDataSet As New DataSet

Private fluidBalanceView As New DataView

fluidBalanceDataSet = manager.getFluidBalance(NewSessionForm.currentPatient.getHospitalNumber())

fluidBalanceView.Table = fluidBalanceDataSet.Tables(0)

fluidBalanceView.RowFilter = "dateRead = ' " & CType(dateComboBox.SelectedItem, String) & "'"

and here is where the exception happens

Dim b As New Binding("Text", fluidBalanceView, "FluidBalance.ivStarted")

volumeStartedBox.DataBindings.Add(b)

i tried putting it in the same sentence but it gave the same exception

volumeStartedBox.DataBindings.Add(New Binding("Text", fluidBalanceView, "FluidBalance.ivStarted"))

this is driving me nuts

please help me before i commit suicide

with thanx to all of you

You can use filter, you just can't use dots in data binding specification in NETCF V1. Please remove the dot as I suggested and it should work.

Dim b As New Binding("Text", fluidBalanceView, "FluidBalance.ivStarted")

____________________________________________________^

NETCF V1 does not support dots here, only first level is supported.

NETCF V2 supports that, but even in this case it appears to be incorrect as you already binding to FluidBalance table view. It would make sense should you use DataSet as data source, not data view.

Assuming 'ivStarted' is a column, this one should work:

Dim b As New Binding("Text", fluidBalanceView, "ivStarted")
