Two datagridviews in one windows form = not possible to save data to the second datagridview


  1. I create a winform
  2. I´m adding a datagridview by dragging a table from data sources
  3. the result: I´ve got a winform with a datagridview and a bindingnavigator
  4. I´m adding a second datagridview to the same winform by dragging another table from data sources
  5. the result: same as bullet 3, but now with two datagridviews; a second bindingnavigator is not added though, don´t ask me why!
  6. I copy the existing bindingnavigator and a adapts the copy to the second datagridview
  7. I look into the .Designer.cs file, and it looks perfect regarding consistency
  8. Now to the problem - even though both datagridviews have their own BindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click method, with code pointing out their respective bindingsources... it´s not possible to save changes from the second datagridview to the database!

    Anyone seen this? Any suggestions what to do?
    

Solution

  • I solved it like this (I thank mr/mrs/miss dretzlaff17 who started up some processes in what´s left of my doped brain)

      private void tableMeLikeBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
         try
         {
            this.Validate();
            this.tableMeLikeBindingSource.EndEdit();
    
            // IMPORTANT: the following predefined generic Update command
            // does NOT work (sometimes)
            // this.tableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(this.rESOURCE_DB_1DataSet);
    
            // instead we explicitely points out the right table adapter and updates
            // only the table of interest...
            this.tableMeLikeTableAdapter.Update(this.rESOURCE_DB_1DataSet.TableMeLike);
         }
    
         catch (Exception ex)
         {
            myExceptionHandler.HandleExceptions(ex);
         }
      }
