Data Binding Simple Bound Windows Forms Controls

Simple bound MM .NET Windows Forms user interface controls implement the ImmBinding and ImmBindingSimple interfaces, which possess the following custom binding properties:

• BindingFlag - Specifies if the control should be bound at run time

• BindingProperty - Name of the user interface property to data bind (for example, Text)

• BindingSource - Name of the binding source business object. You can use the MM .NET Binding Source Selection dialog to set this property.

• BindingSourceMember - Name of the business object data source member to bind to. You can use the MM .NET Binding Source Member Selection dialog to easily set this property.

  This can be in the format:
  

  • FieldName

  • DataTableName.FieldName

  • DataTableName.DataViewName.FieldName
    
  
  If you have a one-part name, it specifies the field name of the business object's default DataSet.

  If you have a two-part name, it specifies the DataTable and field of the business object's default DataSet

  If you have a three-part name, it specifies the control is bound to the field of a DataView belonging to the specified DataTable of the business object's default DataSet. If the name of the view is "DefaultView", then the control is bound to the default view of the DataTable. To use anything other than the DefaultView, the associated DataSet must be an mmDataSet.
