Updating opened list (winpart)

Ton Smeets posted on Wednesday, January 28, 2009

Hi,

I added a virtual method to WinPart like:

Public Virtual void UpdateDataSource()

{

   // Override this method to update the datasource of a read-only listing-winpart

}

This metod is called in ShowWinPart(Winpart part) in my MainForm before the part.BringToFront() method is called.

In my listing-winparts I override this method with for example the following code:

public override void UpdateDataSource()

{

      _list = CustomerList.GetList();

      this.CustomerListBindingSource.DataSource = _list;

      ApplyAuthorizationRules();

}

Is this the normal way to update a datagrid, or do I get in trouble in the future. Is there a better way to update my WinPart.

Thank's
