There's a lot of information out there about data-binding UI objects
(i.e. derived from Control) to non-UI custom business objects. Is it
possible to do the same without any UI being involved at all?
Here's an example:
I want to do data binding on some of the properties of a TreeNode
(namely its Name). Unfortunately, TreeNode does not derive from
Control, so it doesn't have the "stock" data binding stuff. I'd like
to create a new class that derives from TreeNode that reimplments this
data binding stuff.
I tried to create a PropertyManager and simply add data bindings to it,
but unfortunately the PropertyManager 's DataBindings collection is
read-only. Is there anyway to accomplish something like this?
Although this question is specifically about TreeNode, I guess I'm
wondering about the more general question: how do I go about adding a
binding manager to a custom business object to give it binding support
like controls have?

Matty,
Are you able to use .NET 2.0? If so, you can use the implement the
IBindableCompon ent interface, which will allow you to pass your control to
the ControlBindings Collection (exposed by the DataBindings property on
controls, and on your class), and allow it to be data bound.
Hope this helps.

impetus for normalization. Although the db actually works fairly...

I want to data bind a user control and a business object, using a
BindingSource control. The control has a 'Priority' property that takes a
'Priority' enum (High, Normal, Low). The business object has a property with
the same name, which takes an identical enum.
Data binding isn't working, and I think it's because the two enums are
different. Even though they have the same name and the same elements, they
are declared under different...

Hi,
I'm trying to create a form that shows table rows in a listbox. Several

When the user clicks on a row in the listbox, the comboboxes' SelectedItem

That part is working fine. I also want the textboxes to change to...

Think it is great the way that you can set up a datsource, value member, and
display member for a combobox, and map a 'code' to a 'description' and back
again by binding the combobox to a datasource that contains the code. Now
suppose that you want it to be read-only? That is, you have the 'code' in
your DB, want the associated 'description' to display, but not let the user
change it on this particular form. There is no read-only...

Hi Gary,
As for the setting you mentioned, it is used to custimze the received data
size limitation of WCF binding(such as NetTcpBinding or HttpBinding).
After you have definite a customized Binding setting, you can apply it to
your WCF service via the "bindingConfiguration" attribute of each <endpoint>
here is a simple WCF service configuration in web.config which demonstrate
