This may be the day of class I missed but is it possible to bind a textbox (or datepicker or grid or whatever ) to a property ( which perhaps is a list(of T) ) declared in the code of the form itself? i.e. no business object, just whatever is done to that control changes the value of the property without further coding.



I guess one could test on leaving a textbox or whatever and then change the property based on the text but I was thinking more of two way binding to a property. Seems the properties sheet wants a bizobj in order to bind. Should I use a non SF textbox for something like this?



Just feel I'm missing/forgetting/am completely ignorant of something very basic ...

In Visual FoxPro you could define a form's property and then use that property as the binding control source and it will be updated automatically. I believe Charles is looking for the same feature.



Sorry I can not be of much help here since I was looking for the same a week ago and just opted for reading the control's value and update my property manually.

I think SF/ADO binding is intended to bind the property of some control/component to data (in a datatable). I don't think it can just arbitrarily bind two objects together. I'm not exactly sure I see the need, but then I've never used VFP....
