combit List & Label 30 - .NET Help
combit.Reporting Namespace / ListLabel Class / SetDataBinding Method / SetDataBinding(Object,String) Method

Data source to bind to.

Defines the "main" table and has the effect that only this table and all linked child tables are offered. Tables which are located above the specified table in the hierarchy will be hid. Set this property to empty (String.Empty) if you want to have all tables available generally.

Use the AutoMasterMode Property to choose if the data of the DataMember should be transferred as fields (e.g. for an invoice list) or as variables (e.g. invoice collection).

Example


SetDataBinding(Object,String) Method

Sets the data source and data member to use for the Print Method and Design Method. You can bind to any data for which a provider is available. See the combit.Reporting.DataProviders Namespace for an overview of available data providers. You may also write your own data provider and in this way bind to custom sources not covered yet. The most frequently used objects for data binding are

dataMember

Defines the "main" table and has the effect that only this table and all linked child tables are offered. Tables which are located above the specified table in the hierarchy will be hid. Set this property to empty (String.Empty) if you want to have all tables available generally.

Use the AutoMasterMode Property to choose if the data of the DataMember should be transferred as fields (e.g. for an invoice list) or as variables (e.g. invoice collection).

Remarks
Please note that after calling the central data binding capabilities like the Design Method, the Print Method or the Export Method the data source that's assigned to the used List & Label object has to be reassigned/recreated before reusing the object.

SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(Properties.Settings.Default.ConnectionString);  
LL.SetDataBinding(conn); 
LL.Print();
