(Windows only; GUI for .NET)

Assigns input values from the current row in the .NET control back to the corresponding record in the bound ABL data source object buffer. When a control is bound to a single field, the BindingSource object assigns the input value to the corresponding field in the buffer.

Return type: LOGICAL

Access: PUBLIC

Applies to: Progress.Data.BindingSource class

Syntax

Assign( )

You can only use this method for validation at the row level. When a control fires a row-level event, the BindingSource object has access to the input values for all fields in the row. When a control fires a field-level event, the BindingSource object might not have access to that field's input value.

If the method assigns values successfully, it returns TRUE; otherwise, it returns FALSE.
