Datagrid Issues...

[papa_k]

I have a exe that i have created that collects stuff from a SQL server and puts it on the screen, VB database basically.

I have written it in VB6, and i converted it to VB.net

The code that worked fine on the 6 version now does not work on .net. I knew that this might be the case...

My problem...

I have a data grid on a form that i can directly reference in VB6, and i do, with the data being dumped from my record set rstUser to a form frmRefData with a data grid on it called dtgUser.

The working VB 6 code:

frmRefData.dtgUser.DataSource = rstUser



this is only one line taken, but the record set and all is working fine...the problem arrises thus...

The NON WORKING VB.net code:

(the comments were put there by the VB.net upgrade wizard)

UPGRADE_ISSUE: VBControlExtender property dtgUser.DataSource is not supported at runtime
frmRefData.dtgUser.DataSource = rstUser


and i get the error

"Reference to a non-shared memeber requires and object reference"

in the task list in .net

what do i do to get this working again? i am really stumped with this...leave a note if you need more information and i shall supply it (if i can)

Cheers,

Papa

frmRefData is the name of the class, not a handle to an instance of it. Forms are the same as other classes, you need an instance of them before you can mess with their properties.

would simply changing the code to

dtgUser.DataSource = rstUser

work do you think?

If this code is in the form itself, yeah.
