DataGridTableStyle Mapping name when using BindingSource

[Eric Falsken]

I can't figure out what the MappingName property should be set to when the
DataGrid is bound to a BindingSource. The bindingSource can be bound to a
Foo[] or a List<Foo>. But neither of those settings cause the grid to
display the correct TableStyle. Is this feature broken in the compact
framework? What's the magic word?


DataGrid.DataSource = BindingSource
BindingSource.DataSource = List<Foo>

DataGridTableStyle.MappingName = ??? // WHAT GOES HERE?
DataGrid.TableStyles.Add(DataGridTableStyle)

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your post!

For the current issue, the MappingName property is set as the name used to
map this table to a specific data source. So, as far as I know, you can set
the property to the name of the List<T> at the current stage. The following
MSDN document demonstrates the details about the property:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.datagridtables
tyle.mappingname(VS.80).aspx

Hope this will be helpful. If you have any concerns or issues, please let
me know. It's my pleasure to be assistance.
