I have a simple test application which reproduces an error I encountered recently. Basically I have a simple WinForm with databound TextBox and DateTimePicker controls, and a button. When I execute the code below (on the button click), I get the error "DataBinding cannot find a row in the list that is suitable for all bindings". If I move the DataSource assignment into the form's constructor, I don't get the error.
If I remove the data binding for the DateTimePicker, it works fine.
Can anyone explain what the problem is ?
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
private BindingSource bs;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
button1.Click += new EventHandler(button1_Click);
bs = new BindingSource();
bs.DataSource = typeof(Thing);
this.textBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", bs, "MyString");
this.dateTimePicker1.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Value", bs, "MyDate"));
//Thing thing = new Thing { MyString = "Hello", MyNumber = 123, MyDate = DateTime.Parse("01-Jan-1970") };
//bs.DataSource = thing;
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Thing thing = new Thing { MyString = "Hello", MyNumber = 123, MyDate = DateTime.Parse("01-Jan-1970") };
bs.DataSource = thing;
}
}
public partial class Thing
{
public String MyString { get; set; }
public Int32 MyNumber { get; set; }
public DateTime MyDate { get; set; }
}
}
Thanks
Edit:
It seems that if I change the data binding for the DateTimePicker control such that I bind to the "Text" property, the problem goes away. I don't understand why that would be though, because "Value" is valid for data binding.
