Thank you. What you described should be perfectly doable, it's just a question of the right approach. It seems that you are on track; if you run into problems, please ask again.

The Live Binding should work the same with standard (Microsoft-provided) controls, your own controls, or 3-rd party controls - as long as we talking about the usage as envisioned in the documentation, i.e. you bind to top-level properties of such a control, from its parent form.

Your scenario might be a bit more involved, and I am not sure it will work right away - but we are certainly interested in knowing what the users want to do with our component, and possibly advise on how to do it, or even improve the product. Can you please provide more details, such as:

- do you use the live binding simply to manipulate properties of the user control from its parent form (as described above - the supposedly well-supported scenario), OR
- do you use the live binding inside the user control, to properties of its constituent controls, OR
- are you trying to somehow manipulate properties of controls inside the user control?

Where are the DABinder (or UABinder) and BindingExtender placed? Are they on the design are of your user control, or on the parent (form)?


Thank you
