I can't get the XtraGridBindingManager to configure a grid using an advBandedGridView, although it works if a normal gridview is used.  Is this a limitation of the grid binding manager?

I built a couple of code samples for a DevEx banded grid about a year ago, one sample for DevEx 6.3, one for DevEx 7.1,  I also wrote a Recipe for building a banded grid.  The code samples take a standard grid and usesthe Designer to convert it to a banded grid.

Thanks David,
 
I have grids working using a similar approach - as long as noone uses the grid binding manager in the designer to reconfigure databindings.
 
So the workaround for the problem  to enable the grid binding manager to be used to reconfigure the grid seems to be: first change the grid view back to standard, reconfigure using the grid binding manager, change back to an advanced banded grid view, then use the grid control designer to put the columns back into bands.
