Hi all,

I wonder whether one must really use BindingSource under Windows Forms. Did anyone try doing it without BindingSource?

Hi, 

If you search the web you will find several articles on MVC or MVP pattern with Windows Forms.  

I haven't used it myself - but know a few applications that have used other approaches then BindingSource.

Hi Jonny,

My queston should have been 

I wonder whether one must really use BindingSource with Csla, under Windows Forms. Smile

I'm trying to use Caliburn.Micro ported to Windows Forms. You can find it at MVVM FX for Windows Forms and Visual WebGUI. As you can imagine, Caliburn.Micro automatic binding has no provision for BindingSource.

No, you don't have to use BundingSource, but it does make things much easier.  If Caliburn offers something similar id use that.
