Name

PropertyManager

Synopsis

This class, derived from BindingManagerBase represents a bag of Binding objects for a simple property-like data source.

While CurrencyManager deals with lists of objects, the PropertyManager is bound to a single item. Therefore, it is hardwired to look like a list with one entry (at Position zero).

It ensures that all the Binding objects update correctly as the value of this single property changes, by binding to an appropriately named event. For example, a component providing a Text property must also raise a TextChanged event.

See Binding for more information on the data-binding architecture.
