I have a grid with two lookup columns; I’ll call them ColumnA and ColumnB.

ColumnA is always bound to a BindingSource which is populated based on criteria selected outside of the grid (a Company dropdown selection in this case).  This works fine.

 

Lookup ColumnB is bound to a different DataSource than ColumnA.  Its binding is based upon the user selection in ColumnA.  This needs to be done on a row by row basis.

 

In a nutshell, when the selected value in ColumnA changes, ColumnB needs to be re-bound.  How do I accomplish this?

Thanks much in advance!

Hi Judy,

Thank you for contacting us.

You are able to change the DataSource for the whole ColumnB based on the selection in ColumnA. However, in this scenario, when you make a selection in a row of ColumnA and the DataSource should be changed for ColumnB, the display values in all the other rows of ColumnB will be changed according to the new DataSource.
I have demonstrated the approach in the sample project attached.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact me.

All the best,
