Let's say I have a String property in my form (and the form does not implement INotifyPropertyChanged). I've also created a BindingSource and set its DataSource to the form. Then I bind a textbox to the String property on my form (indirectly, using the BindingSource).
Question 1: When I change the value in the textbox at runtime, why don't I hit a breakpoint in the setter of the String property? I thought that binding the control to the String property would allow updates in this direction (GUI -> member data) to occur automatically
Question 2: How can I trigger updates in the other direction (member data -> GUI) to occur when something other than the GUI changes the String property? I don't want to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface and add NotifyPropertyChanged to the setter. I thought that by using the BindingSource's ResetBindings I could at least trigger this manually
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private String m_blah;
public String Blah
{
get
{
return m_blah;
}
set
{
m_blah = value;
}
}
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
textBox1.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", bindingSource1, "Blah",true,DataSourceUpdateMode.OnValidation));
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Blah = "Clicked!";
this.bindingSource1.ResetBindings(false); //expecting the GUI to update and say "Clicked!"
}
}

this.bindingSource1.DataSource = this;
I think you forget to assign data source.
