Vibrant discussion about CSLA .NET and using the framework to build great business applications.
Hi,
I'm working on a windows form (implementing a Winpart). This control contains a DataGridView bound to a Grand Child Collection.
1. Do we need to bind from the root object, then child object, then grandChild ? Or just bind from child object?
2. In RebindUI(), when saving, is it enough to just save the root object:
root = root.Save();
1. Are you creating a UserControl that contains a DatagridView?
If so then you should have:
It should be the outside forms responsibility to set up databinding properly.
2. You can never call Save on an object that has active databinding - so your form must always make sure to unhook databinding before calling save.

No.

Is there any sample code which demonstrates how to deal with grand child object for windows form?
The only sample I can remember is Samples\Net\cs\RootChildGrandchildWinFormTest in the Samples download.
Hi Jonny,
I have a similar scenario , I have a Form hosting several UserControls. The Root object has several Child Lists, maintained by each of the UserControls and all using data binding.
My complication is that a couple of these Child Objects have Grand Children and these are maintained on a Modal Form created from the responsible UserControl.
My problem is how to handle the Accept / Cancel buttons on the Modal Form. I know need to be able to initiate a new edit level on entering the form with a BeginEdit and either ApplyEdit or CancelEdit depending on the DialogResult and that I need to Unbind before doing so. What I am unsure about is whether I need to Unbind everything (i.e. the whole object graph from the main Form) and call the BeginEdit on the Root object or whether I can just Unbind just the Child List I am working with and start an BeginEdit on the Child List.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
