Hi,
I'm working on a windows form (implementing a Winpart). This control contains a DataGridView bound to a Grand Child Collection.
1. Do we need to bind from the root object, then child object, then grandChild ? Or just bind from child object?
2. In RebindUI(), when saving, is it enough to just save the root object:
root = root.Save();
Hi,
1. Are you creating a UserControl that contains a DatagridView?
If so then you should have:
It should be the outside forms responsibility to set up databinding properly.
2. You can never call Save on an object that has active databinding - so your form must always make sure to unhook databinding before calling save.
Hi Jonny,
I have a similar scenario , I have a Form hosting several UserControls. The Root object has several Child Lists, maintained by each of the UserControls and all using data binding.
My complication is that a couple of these Child Objects have Grand Children and these are maintained on a Modal Form created from the responsible UserControl.
My problem is how to handle the Accept / Cancel buttons on the Modal Form. I know need to be able to initiate a new edit level on entering the form with a BeginEdit and either ApplyEdit or CancelEdit depending on the DialogResult and that I need to Unbind before doing so. What I am unsure about is whether I need to Unbind everything (i.e. the whole object graph from the main Form) and call the BeginEdit on the Root object or whether I can just Unbind just the Child List I am working with and start an BeginEdit on the Child List.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
"Are you creating a UserControl that contains a DatagridView?"
No.

Is there any sample code which demonstrates how to deal with grand child object for windows form?
Hi,
The only sample I can remember is Samples\Net\cs\RootChildGrandchildWinFormTest in the Samples download.
