Here's the scenario:
Show the user a list of Things. User picks one, and the Thing edit
frame is populated with the details of the Thing they picked. This
frame has Save / Discard buttons that are initially disabled. When the
user makes a change to any of the details of the Thing, those buttons
become enabled (because there are now changed to Save or Discard).
So I have a ThingDirty property, and all the xxxChanged events of the
Thing detail controls set ThingDirty = True, and in the Property Set of
ThingDirty, I set the Enabled of the Save / Discard buttons to the new
value of ThingDirty. Furthermore, I set ThingDirty to False just after
populating the detail area.
Almost perfect. Except - when the user picks a thing, the detail area
is populated through the magic of data binding - and this triggers all
those xxxChanged events. So every time a Thing is selected, the Save /
Discard buttons briefly flash enabled (as the data binding happens)
before being set disabled.
My workaround is a horrible form-level variable called
dataBindingInPr ogress, which I manually set/reset around the data read
operation, and which when set tells the Property Set *not* to touch the
Enabled of the buttons. Is there a more'built-in' way? Like a property
on the BindingSource (or somewhere) that means 'binding in progress'?
So the controls can know they are being *initialised* and not *changed*
?

Hi Larry
you could use removehandler and addhandler on the controls, remove all the
handlers before databinding and then add them again afterwards
Hope this helps

INTRODUCTION
One of the most powerful aspects of .NET and Windows Forms is data
binding. 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 a question about whether Data Binding can facilitate the process of saving data in a web application
I learned that you can data bind information from a number of different data sources to controls such as TextBox, ListBox, etc. I am clear on the concept of data flowing from data sources into web forms controls
What I am not clear about is how to make the data flow the other way. When I am ready to save the changes or add a...

I have a class which exposes a number of properties of an object (in this
case the object represents a customer). Can I then use this object to
databind to text boxes etc?
I can't use a dataset as the object has loads of derived logic, for example
updating one property may actually update several database fields for
example.

In a VB.Net Windows Forms application, I have a user control that

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
comboboxes expand the foreign key fields into text values from the parent
tables, and there are also some textboxes for the non-foreign key fields.
When the user clicks on a row in the listbox, the comboboxes' SelectedItem
changes to reflect the foreign key selections in the currently selected row.
That part is working fine. I also want the textboxes to change to...

I need to execute some code _after_ page controls are bound to data (e.g.
DropDownList). I could probably handle DataBound events for each control.
But if I wanted to place the code in a page handler, where would I put it?
Does Page_Load() event is raised after or before control data binding takes
place?
Thanks,
Bogdan

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.
