Bug? Databinding Visibility Property of a Textbox Issue

[Grandstand]

I seem to be having a problem binding the visibility property of a textbox to a database value using the advanced binding property.

I found this article (BUG: Inconsistent behavior when you bind the Visible property of a Windows Form control to a Boolean field) stating there is a bug in some older versions of the .net framework.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed in 4.0?

It's not really a matter of whether it's been fixed in .NET 4.0. From 2.0 onwards the Frameworks have built upon each other so .NET 4.0 is not just one Framework containing everything. .NET 4.0 is .NET 2.0 plus .NET 3.0 plus .NET 3.5 plus .NET 4.0. Windows Forms is part of .NET 2.0 so either that bug is fixed in 2.0 or not at all. I would suggest that you test it out and see.

That said, one of the keywords for that article is kbvs2005doesnotapply so I'd guess that it is fixed in .NET 2.0. If your tests suggest otherwise though, then I'd guess not. Remember that Windows Forms is no longer under development since WPF and the workaround for that bug is so simple I doubt that they consider it a high priority.

jmcilhinney thank you for the reply.

I was just more curious than anything, but I think your right this is probably near the bottom of the priority list.
