BindingContext.AddNew method does not work if a DateTimePicker has been data bound

[Joshua Ellul]

Hi There,

When I databind a datetimepicker's value to that of a date field in a
database, the BindingContext's AddNew method does not work, if I remove this
binding it works fine.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? This is the line that binds
the field:
dtpDOB.DataBindings.Add("value", myDS, "Persons.DOB")

Thanks,

Josh

I've seen a bunch of posts on this but here's an article from MS on the
subject which I have got to work. Also, I've used a BindingManagerBase
instead of a Binding Context and never had any problems.

I think these should get you through it.

HTH,

Actually it didn't work,

Using BindingContext(Dataset, TableName) returns a BindingManagerBase so I
don't see a problem there.

:S

Thanks,

Perhaps my framework version is old? I am running 1.0

Josh, I may have given the wrong impression that the BMB doesn't have this
problem, if so, my apologies. I've worked with it but as you mention, your
code returns a BMB so that isn't the issue.

Thanks, if I manage to solve the problem I'll let you know for future
reference,
