I've developed a data form web part in SharePoint Designer 2010. The web part present a filtered view of a list along with edit and insert functions. I want to move the code out to Visual Studio into a solution I have for all our SP enhancements.
I exported the web part to a .webpart file from SP Designer and used that as the .webpart in a visual web part project, but when I deploy the project, the web part from Visual Studio doesn't have any data in it. The same web part deployed from SP Designer does have data in it.
I tried changing the VS web part .cs class to inherit from Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages.DataFormWebPart, but that didn't fix the problem. Here's the .webpart file, any help is appreciated:
