GridView not auto populating

[Alan]

So i followed the video on adding a datasource from the Data Sources menu to our SQL Server.

All the columns fill out in design view fine, but when I run the application, none of the rows populate. The tables does have rows filed out, but I can't get them to show.

Any advice?

I can click on Preview Data as well and that works in the editor too, but they just will not populate during runtime.

Thanks!

Hello Alan,

Thank you for writing.

I created a sample project connecting to the Northwind database. Please find it attached along with a backup of the database.

I am not exactly sure what approach you are following in order to data bind. Please make sure that your application manages to connect to your server instance. You can also check the following forum threads discussing a similar question:

In case you keep experiencing issues please let me know how exactly you are data binding.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.
