I have a multi-part form that utilizes several user controls (ie a user control to standardize the display and entering of an address or several uc that display different parts of a business object to simplify data-entry). The problem I am having is that I am passing the binding source to the user controls which in-turn has binding sources. When I save I then get the infamous edit level mis-match.
So my question is should I eliminate the child binding sources and bind the information another way?
If I should continue to use the child binding sources then how do I tell each part to stop what they are doing so the parent binding source can save the business object?
This is how I handled it.
The user control has a bindingsource, which is setup more or less as a normal child bindingsource would be. I then have various methods to do the databinding correctly. A SetBindingSource sets the control's bindingsource.datasource to the root bindingsource, and the DataMember to the appropriate member of the BO.
The I have other methods / properties, like bool RaiseListChangedEvents, ResetBindings, EndEdit. I creating these, which pass the call along to the control's bindingsource so that you can do the normal steps to avoid binding issues.
