Hello Brian.
I deleted all my data controls and started over and created a new datagrid.
Now the grid displays on my web form filled with sample data, which is
something it was not doing before. I also noticed that it allows me to use
the property page for the datagrid to select the DataSource and DataMember
properties in the dropdown list fashion, another thing it was not doing
before.
But i'm still having the same problem. It displays the Datagrid headings
but not the data from the typed dataset. I also tried assigning the
datasource and datamemeber dynamically.
Do you have any other ideas of what to try ?
Thanks,
Tony
