I am running the example in Beginning VB.NET 2nd edition on Binding simple controls (page 650) but when I run the application, I am getting the following error saying " can not bind to property or column au_lname on datasource"

Private Sub BindFields()
        'clear any previous bindings...
        txtLastName.DataBindings.Clear()
        txtFirstName.DataBindings.Clear()
        txtBookTitle.DataBindings.Clear()
        txtPrice.DataBindings.Clear()

        'add new bindings to the dataview object..
        txtLastName.DataBindings.Add("Text", myDV, "au_lname")
        txtFirstName.DataBindings.Add("Text", myDV, "au_fname")
        txtBookTitle.DataBindings.Add("Text", myDV, "title")
        txtPrice.DataBindings.Add("Text", myDV, "price")

        'display a ready status
        StatusBar1.Text = "Ready"
    End Sub
thanks

I ran the code from the book and didn't have any problems. Check your SQL statement in the FillDataSetAndView procedure and ensure it looks similiar to this with the correct column names:

        'Initialize a new instance of the OleDbDataAdapter object
        objDataAdapter = New OleDbDataAdapter( _
            "SELECT authors.au_id, au_lname, au_fname, titles.title_id, " & _
            "title, price " & _
            "FROM authors " & _
            "JOIN titleauthor ON authors.au_id = titleauthor.au_id " & _
            "JOIN titles ON titleauthor.title_id = titles.title_id " & _
            "ORDER BY au_lname, au_fname", objConnection)
