DataBinding to Custom Class breaks after New instance: how to get around this?

[DraguVaso]

Hi,

I'm having the following situation:

- A class clsFournisseur with public property's which raise a
MyPropertyChanged-event in the Set-method for each Property.
Public Event NomChanged As EventHandler
Public Property Nom() As String
Get
Return m_strNom
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
m_strNom = Value
RaiseEvent NomChanged(Me, New EventArgs())
End Set
End Property
- A Form, with an instance of my clsFournisseur: "Private WithEvents
MyEntreprise As New clsFournisseur".
- Proprty's of this Myentreprise are bound to controls on the Form:
"Me.txtNom.DataBindings.Add("Text", MyEntreprise, "Nom")"

When I change the value in my txtNom.Text, the MyEntreprise.Nom-property is
changed. When I change the MyEntreprise.Nom, my txtNom.Text is changed.

So far so good. BUT:
When in my Form I want to use another clsFournisseur, there isn't anymore
databinding. I do this like this:
- MyEntreprise = New clsFournisseur(intEntrepriseID)
or
- MyEntreprise = New clsFournisseur()

I guess this is normal behaviour because, even when it still has the same
name, it isn't the same class anymore. But I still want to have this
databinding! And a weird thing: the txtNom.Databindings.Count = 1, so the
TextBox thinks there is still the databinding...

Does anybody know how I should do this? Am I doing anything wrong? Should I
Clear all the DataBindings after echt new instance of a class and put them
back?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter
PS: I'm using the CTP from august of Visual Studio .NET 2005

Pieter,

You are using forever for an "object" the name "class".

You bind to an object. If you have renewed that, than the binding is gone.

See it as this
dim a as object 'normally you use its type name by instance ThisClass
a = new ThisClass
a = new ThisClass

Now there are in fact two objects the first a and the second a. The first
one will be released by the GC as soon as that starts doing its job because
it has not any reference anymore.

I thought that this was the base of your question.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Thansk Cor, it's indeed the confirmation of what I thougt.
But isn't there any solution for the DataBinding? Is the only solution I
have to Clear all the DataBindings and than reset them back afterwarths?

Thansk anyways,

Pieter
