Hi

I was wondering if there was any approach to bind an object that contains a
nested object within. Suppose class A is defined as

class A
{

You really love asking the same question separatly in two newsgroups

Bear with me when I say I dont like ansering them in two newsgroups. I
answered to your post in the databinding newsgroup.

Thanks for the suggestion. Doesn't hurt to get different opinions on
different newsgroups

Does not get hurt, no.

But it shows you dont care for the work other do and you are not a friendly

Why did you not CROSSPOST as netiquette asks for?

Frankly, dont you know how to use a newsreader?

You multiposted, and this is frowned upon.
