In my application I use Application Settings to store user settings.
Some of these controls are linked. For example if a checkbox is checked, an edit control might get the text "ticked".
However, this dependency fails to update properly.

I've created a simplified version of my app in the example below. In the example I create two checkboxes, if the first one is checked, the second must be checked as well. This is the code:

//
// checkBox1
//
this.checkBox1.Checked = global::WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Settings.Default.check1;
this.checkBox1.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Checked", global::WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Settings.Default, "check1", true, System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged));
this.checkBox1.Name = "checkBox1";
this.checkBox1.Text = "checkBox1";
this.checkBox1.CheckedChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.checkBox1_CheckedChanged);

//
// checkBox2
//
this.checkBox2.Checked = global::WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Settings.Default.check2;
this.checkBox2.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Checked", global::WindowsFormsApplication1.Properties.Settings.Default, "check2", true, System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged));
this.checkBox2.Name = "checkBox2";
this.checkBox2.Text = "checkBox2";
this.checkBox2.CheckedChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.checkBox2_CheckedChanged);




private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Settings.Default.check2 = checkBox1.Checked;
}

private void checkBox2_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}


However, when running this code. Checking checkbox1 immediately unchecks it.

Bump.

Anybody?

Hi,

Sorry. I test on my side. I am not able to reproduce. When I click Checkbox1, checkbox2 is also checked.

I think I may miss something.

The following is my test:

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

// Copy your code

this.checkBox1.Checked = global::Test0930.Properties.Settings.Default.check1;

this.checkBox1.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Checked", global::Test0930.Properties.Settings.Default, "check1", true, System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged));

this.checkBox1.Name = "checkBox1";

this.checkBox1.Text = "checkBox1";

this.checkBox1.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(checkBox1_CheckedChanged);

this.checkBox2.Checked = global::Test0930.Properties.Settings.Default.check2;

this.checkBox2.DataBindings.Add(new System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Checked", global::Test0930.Properties.Settings.Default, "check2", true, System.Windows.Forms.DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged));

this.checkBox2.Name = "checkBox2";

this.checkBox2.Text = "checkBox2";

this.checkBox2.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(checkBox2_CheckedChanged);

}

void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Settings.Default.check2 = checkBox1.Checked;

}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Console.WriteLine(Settings.Default.check2.ToString());

}

void checkBox2_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

}

Code in settings.Designer.cs:

[global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()]

[global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]

[global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("False")]

public bool check1 {

get {

return ((bool)(this["check1"]));

}

set {

this["check1"] = value;

}

}

[global::System.Configuration.UserScopedSettingAttribute()]

[global::System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute()]

[global::System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("False")]

public bool check2 {

get {

return ((bool)(this["check2"]));

}

set {

this["check2"] = value;

}

}

Best regards,

Ling Wang

Thank you for your response, however even after double checking my own very simple application I can't see any difference - except for the fact that the problem does occur in my solutoin. So I've uploaded my solution to:
this location

This should reproduce the problem.
