Parse method never called when data binding from class property to textedit

[Richard Urwin]

I'm using C# and having problems getting the 'Parse' EventHandler of
my binding object to be called. Interestingly, the 'Format' method is
always called however. A code snippet:

(rdDocument is a private member field of the class and has a
string-type property called 'Name')

Binding bName = new Binding("Text", rdDocument, "Name");
bName.Format += new ConvertEventHandler(teName_Format);
bName.Parse += new ConvertEventHandler(teName_Validate);
textBox1.DataBindings.Add(bName);

private void teName_Format(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e)
{
<perform formatting, OK: method always called>
}

private void teName_Validate(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e)
{
string sValue = (string) e.Value;
<perform validation, PROBLEM: method never called>
}

Can anybody tell me why it's not being called or how I can force it to
be called? Help!

Are you sure the data is getting commited to rdDocument.Name property
without the Parse event getting called. That would be strange indeed.

You may also try calling
teName.DataBindings["Text"].BindingManagerBase.EndCurrentEdit();
incase you are setting the text directly from code.
