This course provides an in-depth look at C# data binding, specifically using the BindingList class. Learn the fundamentals of creating a BindingList that supports IList interfaces while handling list change events and enabling sorting. Through practical examples, students will develop a simple Windows Form application that includes a ListView, ComboBox, and buttons to dynamically add items to the list. Gain skills in using data binding in C# to enhance user interface interactivity and responsiveness. Ideal for those looking to expand their programming expertise in C# and Windows Forms.

The BindList class • The BindingList class provides a generic wrapper around a collection supporting the IList interface. • It provides list changed events and many other properties (including sorting). • The easiest way to create one is by passing in an existing collection: IList<int> numberList = newList<int>(20); BindingList<int> bindingNumbers = newBindingList<int>(numberList);
Example • A simple Windows Form with a listView a ComboBox and a button to add more items.
Example publicpartialclassForm1 : Form { privateBindingList<int> bindingNumbers; privateIList<int> numberList = newList<int>(20); privateintnextNumber = 10; publicForm1() { InitializeComponent(); for(inti = 0; i < nextNumber; i++) numberList.Add(i); bindingNumbers= newBindingList<int>(numberList); listBox1.DataSource = bindingNumbers; comboBox1.DataSource = bindingNumbers; } privatevoidaddButton_Click(object sender, EventArgse) { bindingNumbers.Add(nextNumber++); } }
Formatted Text • Note that the controls displayed the integers. • Each control will use a Formatter to convert the object to a string representation. • This is typically the default ToString() method of the object. • Works for any type:
Example 2 publicpartialclassForm1 : Form { privateBindingList<object> bindingObjects; privateIList<object> objectList = newList<object>(20); public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); for (inti = 1; i < 10; i++) objectList.Add(newDateTime(2008,5,i)); for (inti = 10; i < 14; i++) objectList.Add(i); objectList.Add("Hello World"); objectList.Add(numberList); bindingObjects = newBindingList<object>(objectList); listBox1.DataSource = bindingObjects; comboBox1.DataSource = bindingObjects;
