Data Binding

[Wesman]

Why does the following code not work (displays the correct values in
the second textbox). if i chane the OnFocusChange method to the
following it will work:

private void OnFocusChange(o bject sender,
System.Componen tModel.CancelEv entArgs e)
{
Control control = (Control)
sender; control.Binding Context[test].EndCurrentEdit ();
results.Text = test.BindingTes tString;
}

but not with:

private void OnFocusChange(o bject sender,
System.Componen tModel.CancelEv entArgs e)
{
Control control = (Control) sender;
control.Binding Context[test, "BindingTestStr ing"].EndCurrentEdit ();
results.Text = test.BindingTes tString;
}

or the below code.

Thanks

Wesley
