C# - Binding Controls To Class Properties?

Mar 20, 2009

I have yet to find a "nice" way to do two way databinding in .Net. The one thing I don't like for example in the present asp.net two way databinding is doing the binding in the aspx page is no compile time checking, ie:

<asp:TextBox ID="TitleTextBox"
runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Title_oops_spelled_wrong") %>'>

I would like to have something like this:

Class Binder
Public Sub BindControl(ctl As Control, objectProperty As ???????)
'// Add ctl and objectProperty to a collection
End Sub

What I don't know is possible is, how to receive the objectProperty in my example; I want to receive a reference (ie: a pointer) to the property, so later, via this reference, I can either read from or write to the property.

Can this somehow be done with delegates perhaps??

UPDATE: Note, I want to add the control reference to a binding collection, this collection would then be used for binding and unbinding.

Two-way WPF Binding To Properties Of A Class Inside Of An ObservableCollection

Nov 17, 2011

I've searched as best as I can, and I can't find an answer to this specific problem that I have... WPF binding seems to be great and all, but I end up banging my head against the wall more often than not.

Okay, I have a singleton class which is ultimately the one that I'm binding to:

Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
Public Class AmandaSeyfried

[Code].....

If I throw some break points on the Getter and Setters of the CountryTranslation class, I can monitor when they're being changed (via the datagrid, so binding is working), but try as I might I can't figure out how to raise an event based upon that back in the main class to subsequently update the datastore to show the changes.

Wpf - Property Notification When Binding To Class Not Properties?

Jun 13, 2011

I have a window that contains different functional areas of an account. The details, roles, type, contracts The window's DataContext is set to the 'AccountViewModel'. Inside the AccountViewModel, there are properties one of them being 'Account' which contains the details. I need for the user to be able to update these details. How can I notifiy the properties to call my Update() code when they are changed?

Here is what I have

Forms :: Object Binding - Properties Didn't Set The Value?

Mar 17, 2011

it's about object binding, yes it's just a simple binding. but i don't know why it won't work.for summary, i will write about what i am doing:

1. i have one solution, and have two project in it. WaitressDataWin and WaitressDataObject

2. inside WaitressDataWin, i have 'waitressdata.vb' . this is my simple form , there are some basic textbox (waitress name, address, phone)

3. inside WaitressDataObject, i have 'waitressDataObj.vb' is where i put my object class, i have WaitressName property, WaitressAddress, and Phone.one of my property is like this, others are same except the name of course.

Private _WaitressName As String
''' <summary>
''' Gets or sets the Waitress Name[code]....

4. i create data source , that is object data source. i add reference so i can add my second project which is WaitressDataObject and set the WaitressDataObj as the data source.now i have datasource with three properties (WaitressName, WaitressAddress, Phone)

5. I bind my textbox, by dragging the WaitressName (in datasource) to my waitressname textbox .. so on to all my properties.., i also get bindingsourcecomponent, WaitressDataObjectBindingSource

6. then I put this code to my form load :

dim wdm = new WaitressDataObj
Me.WaitressDataObjectBindingSource.DataSource = wdm

7. done, it should've been worked, but it didn't , i don't know why.. , every time i fill one of my textbox, the properties didn't set the value, i put breakpoint in the 'set' part of all my properties but it never breaks anyway.. (the 'get' part is good, it read my property value when i load the form). so i just had problem in my 'SET' Part.

8. I think i had checked on my variable (word, case sensitive,etc), no problem.

Hide / Omit Some Properties In Binding Of A Collection?

Mar 26, 2010

My problem is similar to the one described in this article, but I'm trying to use a different grid(DevExpress.xtraGrid) and therefore the answer (if it even works) does not apply for me: Binding Collection to DataGrid without showing all columns

Briefly, I'm binding the grid to the collection of custom objects - cMessage - to grid's datasource, but I don't want all the propertieties of the cMessage to be shown in the grid. Is there any way to hide some properties from the binding, while leaving them acessible from outside (ie.leave them as public or friend)?

Can't Inherit Shared Properties From A Base Class In A Child Class?

Dec 29, 2010

This is another one of my "I think it's not possible but I need confirmation" questions.I have a base class for a bunch of child classes. Right now, this base class has a few common properties the children use, like Name. The base is an abstract class (MustInherit)Technically, this means that everytime a child class is instantiated, it lugs around, in memory, its own copy of Name. The thing is, Name is going to be a fixed value for all instances of a given child. I.e., Child1.Name will return "child_object1", and Child2.Name will return "child_object2".

VS 2008 - Can Data Binding To Object Properties Be Setup During Design Time

Feb 17, 2010

Im doing my first project with WinForms, and Im trying to get the DataBinding working. Theres no database in my project, but I'd like to bind some of the TextBoxes to objects' properties. In the other section of this forum (here) I found this line of C# code which does it: textBox2.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", this.myPerson, "LastName"));

my question is can data binding to object properties be set up during design time (without writing code)? If so, how? P.S. I know how I would set up this binding if in WPF, but I'm forced to use WinForms.

Binding Controls To A Settings File?

May 9, 2012

I want to be able to control several groups of settings independently of each other. I'd originally used My.Settings, but it was too much work to manually rollback some settings whilst saving others.

I thought my solution was to use multiple settings files, and I've had moments where this seemed to work, but I whatever success I have had is periodic and temporary.

Currently I have two settings files in the root of the project; In code, I can access the settings OK, but in many cases I want to bind individual settings to controls. This should be straight-forward, and I recall it working when I used the single, built-in settings file.

However, when I use the two new settings files it doesn't work. In the Formatting & Advanced Binding dialog, I select Add New Project Data Source, I browse into my project, then into the root namespace, and then I see my forms/classes/settings files. When I select the two settings files, and click OK, the dialog is dismissed without me being able to select an individual setting to bind the control to.

When I enable Project > Show All Files, I can see that the binding has been created; I have two .datasource files under My Project > Datasources.

Is there some reason why I shouldn't be able to bind to these settings files? If not, why can I not access them the the data-binding dialogs?

Plan B is to create an object to act as an intermediary between the controls and the settings files, but I'd rather avoid this if I can.

Forms :: Data Binding To Hidden Controls

Apr 21, 2009

I have a windows form that I bind to a datatable via a binding source. The binding is done in code at run time. Eg;Me.txtCode.DataBindings.Add(New System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", bsForm, "ToolCode", True)) (bsForm is the binding source)This works well except if the form control is hidden (I have a couple controls on the form that hold Record ID and Version numbers that the user doesn't need to see). Databinding doesn't seem to work reliably for hidden controls.

Using Data Binding Controls To Add Records To DataSet

May 2, 2011

I need to add rows to a DataSet using databound controls in VB.net. I've set up the data bindings themselves, they're bound the the correct controls, and the BindingSource uses the correct DataSet. The DataSet is filled from the DataAdapter correctly, and the binding source works, as the navigation controls all work fine. How do I use the controls to add new data to the DataSet? I guess there must be some kind of end-edit involved which would enable me to insert, update and delete records in the DataSet (as you would use with DataGridViews)

Output Propagates Across Multiple Controls When Using The Same Binding Source

Aug 16, 2011

I have SQLdb column elements from one table that are selected from another table. This is achieved through the use of binding a combobox to the selectable entries and applying that entries ID to the initiating table column When I add multiple combo boxes, for multiple columns, the data selected propagates across all the combo boxes I have. They all use the same binding source. It seems to me the only way out of this is to create a bunch of binding sources, essentially one for each control. I have tested this and it appears to work, but is there another, less cluttered way of ensuring that the comboboxes, while bound to the same binding source, are not bound to one another?

IDE :: VB Controls Properties Not Visible?

I recently uninstalled an IDE for a motion control system (Delta Tau) that is a visual studio based product. Now when I bring up my Visual Basic 2008 IDE that I'm using to write an HMI for the control system, the properties for controls placed on forms doesn't appear in the properties window. And if I click on properties for a form I get the FileProperties2 information, not the form control properties such as size, location, or color. I am also not able to access the controls in the VB toolbox to place on a form. The controls are grayed out and unavailable. what part of Visual Studio 2008 got broke in the Delta Tau uninstall?

Properties Of Controls On A Form?

Jun 18, 2011

I'm trying to write a routine which will produce a list of the values of some of the properties for every control that I've placed on a form. I can do this manually by looking up the names of each of the controls, but I'd rather use a construct like this -for each formname as string in xxxx

for each ctrlname as string in yyyy(formname)
....
next

next

However, I'm having problems with the various examples of this code that I found in the library. I'm not sure whether it's because I don't know how to set up the syntax correctly or this sort of construct isn't possible in this context.
