Datasets: Determine that a column value has changed and set a different column default value

Zones: Visual Studio .NET 2005, Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: Microsoft, Visual Studio 2005, .NET

I currently have a validation on the column titled "Status" in my ColumnChanging event. I can validate the Status value (a boolean checkbox) but I cannot figure out how to check if the current column value has changed from the original value so that I can reset the "Status_Date" column to Today. As I have it coded now, it resets the Status_Date anytime the entire row is in a modified state - not what I want.

         
           
           
             If e.Column.ColumnName.Equals("Status") Then
           If CType(e.ProposedValue, String) Is System.Boolean.TrueString Or _
               CType(e.ProposedValue, String) Is System.Boolean.FalseString Then
                If e.Row.RowState = DataRowState.Modified Then
                    e.Row.Item("Status_Date") = Today
                    Me.dt_Status_Date.Value = Today
                End If
            End If
        End If

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is.
