I think I am going stupid.
I am trying to databind a checkboxlist using entity framework 4.0 and Winforms
(in vs2010)
The database looks like
Student
StudentID
StudentName
Strengths
StrengthID
Desc
StudentStrenghts
StudentStrenghtID
StudentID
StrengthID
What I want to do is display a form that will allow for selecting and
displaying a student’s strengths.
I can bind the checkboxlist to show all StudentStrengths - but I can’t get it
to check the selected ones.
(this is not the actual code – just an example )
Dim dc As New StudentEntities
Dim studentEntity = dc.Students.where(function(x) x.StudentID =
1).SingleOrDefault
Me.CheckedListBox1.DataSource = dc.StudentStrenghts
Me.CheckedListBox1.DisplayMember = "Desc"
Me.CheckedListBox1.DataBindings.Add(New Binding("SelectedValue",
studentEntity.StudentStrengths ," StudentID"))
I am thinking it is because the items in the checkboxlist are Strengths, but
the binding is to StudentStrenght, but I have tried everything and just need
help.
Thanks.
