Does anyone know of resources for someone considering different WinForms DataBinding strategies for use in a new solution? I am lucky to be in a position where I have few constraints; therefore, I feel I need to be able to answer questions like these:
-
Using VS2005 drag-and-drop code generation is rapid, but how does this practice affect maintenance? For example, using drag-and-drop I can generate a Typed DataSet from a SQL Express database, then use the Typed DataSet as a Data Source to generate a details form. What then should I do when requirements change and I am forced to alter the structure of a table in the database?
-
By implementing BindingSource.DataBindingComplete I can log the bindings actions that occur when I use BindingNavigator actions. I've noticed there are lots of seemingly redundant actions occurring. Would it be wise to attempt to minimize this behavior, and where could I find details about the sequence of operations that occur and the reasoning for this approach?
I'm not necessarily looking for answers to these specific questions. Rather I would like links to information/opinion/speculation relevant to such concerns.
