Binding Grids to a Data Source and problems encountered
There are a number of ways to bind a grid to a datasource using
Apptivity - you can use Auto-Layout and choose the grid option or
you can draw a grid on a form and manually bind it to a datasource.
Manually binding columns in a grid in Apptivity can sometimes
result in the grid displaying without any data. To get around this
problem there are certain steps you need to take. First in the
grid properties dialog box, bind the grid to a data source. Then
when chosing column property box touch the datasource name before
selecting the column name. Do this even if the correct datasource
name is highlighted and its column names are shown. If you don't
touch the data source name, the generated code for the column marks
it as unbound (false). By touching the datasource name, the
generated code will be marked as bound (true).
