I'm going to attempt to answer my question, but I'm hoping someone will correct me if I get it wrong.
First my call BindingContext[lookupData, dataTable.ToString()].EndCurrentEdit(); should have read BindingContext[lookupData, dataTable.TableName].EndCurrentEdit(); When I was tracing through the code, it appears that the BindingContext contained 7 (?!? why so many?) objects, and when I created a new view by using DefaultView, the line above does not refer to correct BindingManager. What I did as a workaround was BindingContext[listBox.DataSource].EndCurrentEdit(); which appears to work. How would I set things up if I wanted to use the same binding manager in the first DataView (created by DefaultView), and the one used by the listBox?

I would really appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this. What is the difference, as far the currency manager goes, between a DataView created from DataTable.DefaultView and a DataView explicitly created, then the Table property set? I'm getting very different behaviours depending on how I create the DataView. I have a WinForm with three main elements, a combobox, a listbox, and a groupbox. The groupbox contains a number of bound fields. The dataset contains two tables (A & B). What I am trying to do is have the listbox and groupbox (and controls therein) bound to fields in table B, but have the items in the listbox filtered by the selection of the combobox (bound to table B). To do this, I bound the listbox and controls to a DataView. In the combobox SelectIndexChanged event, I have filteredView.RowFilter = "ThemeID = " + cboTheme.SelectedValue; If I create the DataView explicitly, then when I call BindingContext[lookupData, dataTable.ToString()].EndCurrentEdit(); the edits don't get picked up. But, if I create the view using dataTable.DefaultView, then listbox and combobox's selections reset when I click a button (I can provide more details here if needed), but the edits are picked up. Any ideas? Thanks, and sorry for the long post, Erick You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
