Data binding to objects

[IfYouSaySo]

Hi,

I've been looking at data binding of forms controls to objects today, and I'm a little confused. If I understand correctly, the INotifyPropertyChanged interface is new to 2.0, and is documented well on MSDN. But when I bind a collection of customers to a DataGridView (as in the MSDN sample), it seems I'm only getting change notifications (which is I guess what I should expect from INotifyPropertyChanged!) but what I really wanted was to also have the DataGridView update when Customers are added/removed from the list. How do I get that kind of functionality? Also, how do I get two way bindings--i.e. the collection of customers gets updated if a new customer is added via the UI, and the UI gets updated when a new customer is added.

Thanks!

Got it!

set the CustomerBindingSource.RaiseListChangedEvents = True

AND

Do not use System.Collections.Generic.List(of T), instead use System.ComponentModel.BindingList(Of T).

And everything works. It would be nice if the MSDN samples told us this stuff...
