• mohdtmn Problem creating a derived DataViewManager component: DataTable internal index corrupted

  I have a component that serves as a read-only DataViewManager to which various controls are bound: public partial class PickListProvider : DataViewManager { public PickListProvider() : base(static_dataSet) { } As you can see, the DataSet containing the data is shared amongst all component instances.
