Databind TabControl as Detail to Master Records

Using VB.NET 2003.
I have two tables. One is the master and the other is the detail. I am
successfully binding them both and can successfully bind the detail to a
datagrid and pull in all related detail records to the master. (not really
what I want though)

I have created a user control with the fields from the detail table and
would like to dynamically create tabpages on my tabcontrol so there are as
many tabs as there are detail records corresponding to the master record. I'm
only pasting the code that creates the tabpage and I hope that is enough. The
problem I have is that I need to figure out when / how to call this sub for
every detail record.


Private Sub AddTabPage()
Dim tbPage As New TabPage
Dim ctlMyPage As New CGAAppLibraryTabPage_ctl
ctlMyPage.txtModDesc.DataBindings.Add("Text", dsAppMaster,
"app_master.AppMod.mod_desc")
ctlMyPage.txtModMigDoc.DataBindings.Add("Text", dsAppMaster,
"app_master.AppMod.mod_migdoc")
ctlMyPage.txtModSetup.DataBindings.Add("Text", dsAppMaster,
"app_master.AppMod.mod_setup")
ctlMyPage.cboModType.DataSource = dsAppMaster.app_types
ctlMyPage.cboModType.SelectedItem =
dsAppMaster.Tables("app_master.AppMod.mod_type")
ctlMyPage.cboModType.DisplayMember = "app_type"
tbPage.DataBindings.Add("Text", dsAppMaster,
"app_master.AppMod.mod_name")
tbPage.Controls.Add(ctlMyPage)
TabControl1.TabPages.Add(tbPage)
End Sub

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
 
Cheryl,

I don't think that you can bind them in this case. If you bind them you bind
the complete table and it will be showed depending the position in the
bindingcontext.

I think that you are better of with a routine like this.

Remove on your tabcontrol all pages
Create a dataview with as rowfilter your selection (the key from the master)
loop through the dataviewrows and create pages as many as there are rows
have an innerloop in that which creates dynamicly the fields and fill
that

To get the information back I would do the same loop.

That is the way as I would try it.

I hope this helps,

Cor
 
Cor,

Thanks for the response. I was afraid of that! I guess I know what I'll be
doing today. I'll let you know how it turns out.
