Hello,

I am trying to bind rectangle properties to a SQL data source that I have setup. I noticed that that the rectangle properties window does not contain the DataBindings option. I am setting this up in a Windows form using VB in VS 2008. I was not able to find a similar subject in another forum. If there is one, I would appreciate it if you could direct me to it.

Thanks,

Kris

Hello Kris,

Thanks for your posting on MSDN forum.

I assume that you mean the RectangleShape in Visual Basic Power pack. Please correct me if there is any misunderstanding.

From a Windows Forms perspective, “Data Binding�is a general mechanism to bind data to a user interface element (Control). However, RectangleShape is drivered from Component and we cannot bind data source to an Component, thus there is no DataBindings option on the Properties Windows for an RectangleShape component. To make the RectangleShape bindable, we can create a new class that derived from RectangleShape class and implement the IBindableComponent interface. For example,
