I have a property of type IBindableQuery (http://bindablelinq.codeplex.com/).

I want to bind that property to a control on windows form using Visual Studio 2008 designer.

But I can’t see the property In designer.

Whatpropertytype is visible infield DataMember onBindingSource control in thewindows form deginer?

Hi JNikolov,

Let's say the class that contains the property of type IBindableQuery is MyClass. To get what you want, the MyClass class should derives from the Component type and implement the IListSource interface. When implementing the GetList method of the IListSource interface, return a list that contains the current instance of the MyClass itself. The following is a sample:

public class MyClass: Component, IListSource
{
public MyClass() { }

public MyClass(IContainer container)
{
container.Add(this);
}

privateIBindableQuery bindableQuery;
publicIBindableQueryBindableQuery
{
get { return bindableQuery; }
}


#region IListSource Members

bool IListSource.ContainsListCollection
{
get { return true; }
}
System.Collections.IList IListSource.GetList()
{
List<MyClass> list = new List<MyClass>();
list.Add(this);
return list;
}

#endregion
}

Please try my suggestion and let me know the result.

Sincerely,
Linda Liu
