hi all

i'm trying to implement an mvc pattern in my winformsapp.

my problem is when i think about using data binding in my app. if the view can get and set the data from the model(when using databinding)then the pattern is not doing what it should.

my question:
can i do one way binding? and let the controler class manipulate the data?
how does mvc pattern fits with data binding?

thanks all

Hi Elad,

When using data binding in your application, it's the data binding engine that sets the changes back to the underlying data source. This doen't break the MVC pattern.

Bind thecontols on your form to the underlyingdata source. When the user changesthe values in the bound controls,data binding engine will send the changes back to the underlying data sourceautomatically. Use the controller to call the Save method on the model to save changes back to database.

Hope this helps.
