Save and Retrieve from Database

[Jon]

Hi,

 

I am saving the transferred items from the RadListBoxDestination Box into one database field like so:-



Dim _RadListBoxDestinationText As String = Nothing

        For Each item As RadListBoxItem In RadListBoxDestination.Items

            _RadListBoxDestinationText = _RadListBoxDestinationText + item.Value.ToString + vbCrLf

        Next

'Save_RadListBoxDestinationText to the Database


The data saves OK, but then when the user returns I need to repopulate the Destination box and I am trying to do it like so

Dim _DBString As String = _dr("EOT3CCa")

            Dim _DBSplitString As String() = _DBString.Split(New Char() {vbCrLf})

 

            Dim _Text As String

 

            For Each _Text In _DBSplitString

 

                Dim item As RadListBoxItem = RadListBoxSource.FindItemByText(_Text)

                RadListBoxSource.Transfer(item, RadListBoxSource, RadListBoxDestination)

              


            Next

I get an 'object reference not set..'
I can output the split string into an ordinary textbox just fine but not the RadListBox - it can't find the items.

Is there a better way to do this?

All help most appreciated.

Cheers,
Jon

Hi Jon,

Could you specify which reference is not set to an instance of an object? It seems to me that the following statement does not return a result:

Dim item As RadListBoxItem = RadListBoxSource.FindItemByText(_Text)

Please specify the transferring mode which you are using, is it copy or move?

All the best,
