Data Binding in Windows Forms 2.0 - by Brian Noyes

This meeting will be on Tue, Jan 17, 206 at 6pm. Location: Sarasota Community Foundation, located at 2635 Fruitville Rd., Sarasota, FL 34237 (just west of Tuttle on the north side of Fruitville).

Windows Forms 2.0 introduces a host of new capabilities for managing data binding scenarios. The BindingSources component allows you to easily bind to almost any kind of data source, and the Data Sources window in Visual Studio 2005 makes it easy to generate the code to hook up BindingSources to controls. This session will demonstrate the use of BindingSources and the Data Sources window to handle a variety of complex data binding scenarios including Master-Details, data bound custom controls, and keeping multiple sets of data bound controls synchronized.
