A little late to the game here (haven't been on the UT most of this month).

Thanks Gregory, for plugging my blog. Thanks Pete, for taking a look at it. But as you found out, the blog post's intent wasn't really in keeping with the problem you were having Pete. But Bill to the rescue ... his WriteValue suggestion is spot-on.

>>>Hi all, I need a bit of help understanding why a call to Dataset.Haschanges() returns false. I have a form with several textboxes bound to a Dataset. I create the bindings thus:
>>>

>>>this.txtFirstName.DataBindings.Add("Text",this.dsNames,"AFieldName");
>>>

>>>
>>>and so on for the other textboxes. Here is the Gotcha !, if I manually change any of the textboxes values by typing , the call to "HasChanges()" correctly returns true, But ! , if I set the values in code e.g.
>>>

>>>this..txtFirstName.Text = "";
>>>

>>> the call to "HasChanges()" returns false. Any ideas ?

>Hi Gregory, my dataset has only one table and one row and I always call EndEdit as Bonnie is doing but HasChanges() is still returning false. I'll work around it for now - thanks for your help.
