Hi Bill,

You should only have to bind it once and be done with it. If you used the same code you just showed to bind initially, you shouldn't have a problem.

Somewhere in the code for your Form (a good place is in the Load event, for example), you should have code to set up your DataBindings. I typically have a method called DataBind() where I put all this stuff (and call it from the Load eventhandler):

protected void DataBind()
{
    // put all your databinding code here, it only needs to be executed one time
    textBoxVersion.DataBindings.Add("Text", soinf.somastds.soversion, "version");
}

Once your DataSet is loaded, all your bound controls should reflect the proper contents. Since it appears yours isn't quite working correctly, I can only guess at what the problem might be. It could have something to do with mixing your binding syntax. Have a look at my blog post on this subject and see if that might be the cause of your problem:

If this isn't it, then perhaps you could post some more code showing how and when you're binding.
