Hi Guys,
I've been using your Grids for quite sometime now but theres a bug thats really getting on my nerves!
My program uses a series of class objects as datasources, these are databinded to the grid at design time and i use the supplied designer to Rename/Hide/show and Resize the columns.
Now the program is starting to get quite large and at least once every couple of days now i'll be doing some work on a section that i havn't touched in days and realise that the Grid has lost all its formatting ... All the hidden columns are now showing, all the column headers that i renamed are lost and the resizing seems to be lost aswell.
I've just had a phone call from an end user who has just reported that a large grid has just lost all its formatting, even though i sat down with the my director only two weeks ago and designed the grid for him!
Does continuing to use your grids mean i have to continually mantain them and check for this bug or is there a fix for this problem??
Acording to the project upgrade utility i am using 2007 Vol 2 for .NET 2.0 and the project that has just gone wrong is using the Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinGrid 7.2 (7.2.20072.1063)
I've experienced this problem too. I believe it occurs when changes are made to the underlying dataset that the grid is bound to.
To work around this annoying problem i do the following:
1) Close the project
2) make a backup of my project
3) Re-open the project and make sure that the forms using the dataset are closed
4) modify the dataset
5) close the project and if requested I do not save any changes to the forms that use the modified dataset
6) open the project again and proceed as normal.
7) if necessary I restore the form from my backup
Any one else have an easier method to overcome this problem?
Since making the first post i have now upgraded my project to the latest version of Win Forms Vol 3 (7.3.20073.38)
I've logged back on seeing if anyone has a solution to this because its just happened again to a different grid ...
To my knowledge i have not changed the underlying datasource in any way ... in fact i havn't touched it for weeks.
Steve - i've now designed a quick app that i use to backup my project to a network share. I'll do as you say cheers...
Infragistics, do you have any methods to avoid this problem in the first place as its driving me nuts!
