I had tried something like that already, but I get an error:
Dim DV As DataView
DV = objdsWebvisitors.Tables("VISITOR").DefaultView
DV.RowFilter = "lastname like 'J%'"
'// replaced this auto-generated line
'// grdWEBVISITOR.SetDataBinding(objdsWebvisitors, "VISITOR")
'// with this line:
grdWEBVISITOR.SetDataBinding(DV, "VISITOR")
The error is:
"Cannot create a child list for field VISITOR".
The .SetDataBinding method expects a string as the second argument. When the
first argument is a DataSet, the second argument is the name of the table.
But if the first argument is a DataView, what should the second argument be?
Thanks
Timo
