I would like to load a dataset, create a dataview and reference that
dataview in another form. I decalred in a module
Public dv as Dataview

and in the the form's loading process I fill the data set and say:

dv = dstest.Tables(0).DefaultView

then on the form where I am going ot use the view:

If TabControl1.SelectedIndex = 4 Then
dv = New DataView(Dstest1.Tables("test"), "TypeOfCitation =
'testtype'", "sorttest", DataViewRowState.CurrentRows)
DataGridSH.DataSource = dv
DataGridSH.Visible = True
Exit Sub
End If

I tried inheriting the form it was built on and that didn't work.

Do I need to remove references in the code of the form getting the dataview
to the dataset being used? Or am I missing something else?

I never dispose of that form that it was created on.
 
Hey, I'm not a VB guy, but it looks to me like the problem is the way you
are assigning to dv on your 2nd form. Just assign the reference to the
original dv (maybe make a public property on your first form for dv) to your
2nd dv. Don't use "New".

Declare the DataView in the general declaration area of the first form as:

Friend Shared dv As DataView

and then to use that dv object in the second form use:

Form1.cr

I hope this helps!

I solved the shared dataview issue. If anyone wants to know more post here.

thank you mountain for trying to help.
 
Hi Hussein,

I was taught datasets and dataadapters could not be inherited across forms.
Yet I am able to share a dataset through a class.
I am confusing inheritance and sharing arent I?
