Binding controls to typed data sets

In C# code, I would like to bind a column in a typed data set row to
an edit box (or other control) without having to use a string literal
for the column name.

For example, the following works:

TypedDataSet.Ta bleRow row;
editBox.DataBin dings.Add("Edit Value", row, "col_name") ;

However, the above is not type safe and I cannot use autocompletion so
have to muck around to get the column name. For example, if col_name
is mistyped, or the typed data set no longer has this column then the
code will still compile.

What I would prefer to say would be something like:

editBox.DataBin dings.Add("Edit Value", row, row.col_name.Ge tName() );

Where GetName would return the string "col_name"

Data binding is the process of associating user interface (UI) elements with a data source to generate a visual representation of data. Two types of data binding are available for Windows Forms: Simple Data Binding and Complex Data Binding. Simple data binding allows you to bind one data element to a control. In many situations you want to display...

Hi .. I have an issue I have been beating my head against the wall on for some time.

My problem is that I can not seem to get the syntax correct .. or perhaps...

I have an ASP.NET 2.0 page with two DropDownLists. I am using declarative data binding wherever possible and trying to minimize the use of code. The list of values in DropDownList DDL2 should be (filtered) dependent upon the selection in DDL1. I think this inevitably needs some code, but I'd be happy to be told otherwise! I have some code to handle OnSelectedIndexChanged for DDL1 that sets the FilterExpression associated with the...

I have a question about simple binding: (please forgive any syntax errors... I am at home, where I do not have Vb.Net installed, and I rely far too much on Vb's intellisense!) If I have two textboxes, Textbox1 and Textbox2, and add a databinding to Textbox2 as such: Textbox2.Databindings.Add("Text",Textbox1,"Text") Anything typed into Textbox1 is mirrored in Textbox2.

I have looked and searched. What good is the databind property on Radiobuttons? How does one go about actually using it? What is a good resource on this? I understand that I can easily get/set the information I need programmatically, but what about the databind property I just don't understand it's value.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
