How can I stop "Error Creating Control"?

How can I stop "Error Creating Control"?

Whilst I have successfully populated a table (etc) with the cslaDataSource, I frequently get the above error with text like "MyType could not be set on property TypeName".

This error can suddenly appear after switching from html to design mode on a page, and seems to happen readily when more than one cslaDataSource is in a project (still only one on a page). Usually, the site builds and runs regardless, but something must be wrong...?

Any ideas how this can be prevented?

What are the rules about having >1 cslaDataSource in a project or page?

Many thanks for any advice,

James.

Are you using version 2.0.3?

Rocky:

I'm not certain how to unambiguously ascertain the version number, but the zip file was named csla20cs-2.0.1-060531.zip, so I'm a bit behind.

If I use the latest 2.0.3 should I expect an improvement  ref my error?  (aside from the general wisdom of using the latest version...)

Many thanks

James.

The best way to identify the version number is to look at the project's properties - I always update the version number there as time goes forward. But the version 2.0.1 from the zip file is good too.
 
In this particular case 2.0.3 is important, because it specifically addresses some issues with assembly resolution in CslaDataSource.
 
Please do be aware that there was one potential breaking change in 2.0.2 - read the change log for that release to see the details. If your DataPortal_Create() methods start acting odd this is why - but the fix is straightforward.
