.NET databinding

I have a general question about the approach towards databinding controls
with objects. Apart from the databinding offered by .NET to bind data, it
can be extended to have the same behavior with objects. Although, it seems a
better way of doing things and provides an abstraction of code base, it
hampers performance, as compared to the traditional approach.

But just in the context of approach towards best practices towards
developing applications(wi ndows based) with .NET, is databinding objects to
controls a warranted approach?

Also, there are news from the recent PDC about the C# version 2.0 and
improvements in databinding, etc. What does a developer need to consider for
when developing with .NET 1.1 with the point of view of the upcoming
changes?

Thanks

I'm writing what should be a very simple app against an Oracle database. The app has a number of user controls, any one of which is loaded into a main display page using the loadControl method, depending on which menu item a user selects. Each of these controls follows the same basic pattern: Get a dataset from the database and then display the results using basic databinding. Everything works fine except that I'll occaisionally get an...

When I first built a few web pages in ASP .Net 2.0, I thought it was great. The formview and detailview contorls would automatically layout the controls for you, the update methods were automatically generated, and the objectdatasource let you design against a business object through the gui. Now I am working on my first real web application on 2.0, and I find this automatic functionality doesn't do much beyond allowing me to generate...

I have tried using Databinding for my application but always seem to find it very restrictive (maybe I don't completely understand it enough). I always seem to find it much easier to display a form, have the user fill it out then put the data into a class representing a data row and then use the OLEadaptor or OLECommands to update the database. My question is has anyone really used databinding in anything but the simpliest application...

We have been noticing that questions on vs.2005/2.0 don't appear to get much in answers so I'm reposting some questions posted by some of the programmers here in our organization that never got answered... In 1.1 we always did our own myDataAdapter.fills and we liked that control for lots of good reasons. Now the new DataSource (or is it a TableAdapter:Dataset) automatically fills the Gridview. How can we control that fill? In a...

Hi I have a very simple configuration of the GridView with paging and sorting. When I do a postback the DataBinding event fires twice - in both the ProcessPostData and PreRender stages of the page life cycle. In this example the event fires twice when a) GridView EnableViewState=False and any image type control in the <columns/> element. When either EnableViewState is set to true or the image button is removed, the event fires once....

Hello to all, I want to know if DataBinding in asp.net 2,0 is better than to fill up the values of the controls of the following form: this.miControlTextBox.Text = valorParaControlTextbox; Performance with databinding is good in asp.net 2.0 ? Would you prefer: databinding or set value to Text property of control ?

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
