I'm still not understanding how to get SF to update data if I add the IBusinessBindable interface to a control. My initial understanding was that I needed an event that changed after the bound property changed. I.e. if my control had a property called MyProperty that I wanted to be bindable (i.e. the property would be loaded with data by the BO and changes to the property would update the BO), I'd need a MyPropertyChanged event:





However, this didn't work.



Next I noticed that in the SF RichTextbox, you implemented the INotifyPropertyChanged interface, so I tried that. I created an event called PropertyChanged and raise that event in the set of any properties I want to be bindable. Again it didn't update the BO.



How do I get the BO to know when the property changes, so it updates itself with the new data?

I found the problem I was having. The control was never firing either the [property]Changed event or the PropertyChanged event because I wasn't bubbling the required event up from the base control. Now BOTH of the methods outlined in the original post work.



Hope this helps somebody else!

Hehe, yes, you'll have to bubble the event up for it to work.  However, you only need to create the event if you're creating a custom property.  For instance, we inherited TextBox and since it already had a TextChanged event, we didn't have to create a new one since we didn't define the Text property.

So, only when you define the property do you need to handle the changed events yourself.  Hope that helps.

Yep, its all clear now. And its working
