I just uploaded more videos to Microsoft Downloads! I wanted to post the direct links here and the matching code downloads for all of you immediately even though MSDN will be creating a pretty landing page like this one for them this week, probably tomorrow or Wednesday. (I'll update this post when that's up).
Download the Forms over Data Video Series #2 and the associated code now!
Hi Beth,
I have been watching your videos series for about 4 months now, and they are really helpful. Your videos have inspired me a lot to engage on creating windows form application.
My question is I have created a customers database a similar to the that have on the videos series, but I would like to is have a feature of code in the datagridview that allows users o search for a specific customer and select any customer from the datagridview to be added to the main form instead of just use that option to search for customers.
I hope you can help me with this question.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Thanks,
Helder Marcelo
@Bari, if you are using local mode then you should be able to just supply a parameterized query to the TableAdapter and call that from the ReportViewer. Check out this site, it may help you: http://www.gotreportviewer.com/
@Helder, I'm not sure what you mean by "add to the main form". Take a look at this post and see if it helps you: http://blogs.msdn.com/bethmassi/archive/2007/10/01/using-data-across-multiple-windows-forms.aspx

My question is how to create a search from that allows you to select a customer from the query result, and by double clicking the selected customer should be automatically added to the main form (example: Orders form). Let's take your OMS windows application from videos series as an example, You have the following tables: Customers, Orders, OrderDetails and Products. Assuming I have a huge number of customers, I have a created a customer search windows form that displays the customers' information that I am looking for.What I would like to do is once I find the customer I am looking for, I would like to just double click that customer specific customer and have him/her added directly to my orders form.
Thank you,
Hi Helder,
You can just return the data from the search form back to your main form. You may only need an ID and a name to display though and not the whole datarow.
