Hey Martin,

Yes, they'd be considered two different Binding objects, so you definitely don't want to mix-and-match. Pick one syntax and stay with it. I don't remember what the differences were, as it was early on in my learning of .NET that I ran into an issue with one and not the other (that was 3 years ago, my memory's not that good!! <g>) And, you know, that might even have been an issue from the 1.0 Framework that was fixed in the 1.1 Framework ... I just don't know and can't remember.

But, bottom line is that ever since then, I've been using the syntax

// For a typed DataSet
BindingContext[MyDataSet.MyTable]

// For a regular DataSet
BindingContext[MyDataSet.Tables["MyTable"]]
//   - or -
BindingContext[MyDataSet.Tables[0]]

oooops, sorry, that's C# syntax, but you get the idea (just use parens instead of brackets for VB).

>Thanx! for the tip! Just curious though, both syntax look the same except that one is refering directly to the table while the other is passing through the data set. Would the effects be different? I am actually still drawing up a template so I have been changing my codes everytime I get to read or discover a better way.
