Custom Winform control : Use databinding correctly.

[Guest]

Hi,

We have a custom ListView control and we want to add databiding support to
it. I want to be able to databind a dataset to my columns and ListViewItems
Collection. Where would be a good start to read about this and how to do
this. I have tried to bind Columns to the DataSet.TableName.Columns property
but it complained that Columns was read-only. I also want to take each
datarow in the Table and insert those as Items to my ListView. Can I do this
from databinding, and what must I do to make it possible?

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,

MSDN article on implementing a data-binding ListView Control:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnadvnet/html/vbnet08262002.asp

(This article was written pre-2.0, so it might implement some legacy practices, but I'd imagine that the solution will work in the
2.0 framework as well)
