bindingsource in partial

[pihentagy]

Hi all!

Is it possible to have a bindingsource in a partial class?
Well it is possible, but I have the following issues:
- this.components is defined in the .designer.cs file. If I call my
own initialization method before the GUI's one, I will not have
this.components. If I call it after, it's too late, because I'd like
to bind it to a GUI component
- my IDE (#develop) doesn't display my own partial class as part of
the Form. What should I do to make it understood that my class belongs
to that?

ps: the reason for requiring it to be in a partial is to generate that
piece of code.

Thanks

Not sure what exactly you mean here, but it's not "too late" to do
whatever you want after the call to InitializeComponent() - you can
most certainly bind it to anything that way.

- my IDE (#develop) doesn't display my own partial class as part of
the Form. What should I do to make it understood that my class belongs
to that?

Again, the question is unclear. What exactly do you mean by
"displaying .. partial class as part of the form"?

Hi all!

Ok, here is what I would like to achieve
- I would like to have a BindingSource defined in a custom partial
(not in myform.cs, not in myform.designer.cs, but in another partial,
say myform.datasource.cs - reasoning: my partial may be autogenerad
more than once, and I don't want to merge it with the hand-written or
the designer generated form)
- I would like to have design time support for it (I would like to be
that bindingsource listed at the bottom of my form and I would like to
be able to bind that datasource to a widget WITH THE DESIGNER)

Is that obvious now what I would like to achieve?
