I have implemented a container class with IList and bound it to a listbox.
Works just fine, but if i then add a new item to my list, the listbox is not
updated.
Looking at the definition for IList it is clear that it does not have any
events to tell the bound controlls about changes, but can it really be that
after adding to the list I allways have to call an update method for the
listbox? I would rather have designed the interface to allow bound controlls
to get an event and then do an update on their own.
As a side note.. I am doing the change from c++ to c#, so i would like to
add a very basic question which I cant find the answer to... how exactly
_do_ you update a listbox when the data changes? There are many update,
refresh and invalidates, but they all seem to relate to a repaint.. not a
re-load list.

Jakob:
I believe a data source has to implement the IBindingList interface in
order for the control to automatically update.
If you have an IList source, you could just re-assign the DataSource
property of the bound control to the list and it will reload from
scratch. Of course, this can become expensive on big collections with
lots of changes, but I imagine that is why classes like the DataView
implement IBindingList.

I'm trying to bound a custom object to a combobox using DataSource
property. The code works correctly however when the user selects a
different value I get a runtime error of NullReferenceException -
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I've posted a
snippet of the code below: I think it maybe something to do with
CopyTo or SyncRoot as I don't understand what these are. Any please
will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi All,
Hopefully I explain this well........
In Access97 I have a form which has a tab control on it, each tab has a
sub-form which is bound to its appropriate table(I'll call them
'Detail' tables). I have a 'Header' table and fields from it are
displayed on the form above the tab control.
Header table name is tblClientInfo
Detail tables are tblPolicyInfo, tblBeneInfo, tblRiderInfo

Hi
Straight to the point - I don't understand why System.Array derives
from IList (given the methods/properties actually on IList).
When designing an interface you specify a contract. Deriving from an
interface and only implementing some of it means something is wrong:
either the interface specification is wrong e.g. not minimal or the
derivation is wrong e.g. the type can't actually honour this contract.

Hello all,
I have written a collection class that implements IList. The class
currently uses an ArrayList for its internal storage.
I am somewhat confused as to how I should implement the SyncRoot
property on my class. The MSDN documentation seems quite evasive on
the subject:
For collections whose underlying store is not publicly available,

Hello, I am trying to update my listbox whenever I remove something from the
underlying datasource (IList). I understand that you must use the
SuspendBinding and ResumeBinding methods of the BindingContext to accomplish
this but I think I am doing something wrong:
Dim bc As BindingManagerBase = BindingContext(MyClass)
bc.SuspendBinding()
MyClass.Remove(ListBox1.SelectedItem)
bc.ResumeBinding()

I have an IList/Collection that contains items in a ListView.
If i click on an item in the ListView, i can capture the index

Once I've sorted the ListView, obviously the indices do not match up
anymore. So, should i sort the IList/Collection when I sort the

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
