Need Advice on Using Matrix Components

15 Views

Hello Everyone,

Please excuse my ignorance as I'm new to the SDK environment and some aspects of vb .net programming. Here is my delima:

I'm loading BP address update information using an Import Wizard. The data comes in as a simple spreadsheet with column headers and the rows containing the corrected address information. I'd like to load a matrix or list/grid type component with one column containing all the header names of the spreadsheet and another column containing ComboBoxs with map-to-field selections for name, address1, city, state, etc.

Should I use a Matrix, Grid or some other component in light of not needing to Bind them to a database table or source? If I use a Matrix, will I be required to bind it to a datasource in order to be able to see the data on my form, correct?

Is there any reference material available on binding datasources to matrix and grid components with examples? I'm making every effort to use best practices in all aspects of the approach and any advice or direction to reference materials would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

MikE
