Data binding for TextBox

Question

I have a basic property that stores an object of type Fruit:

Fruit food;
public Fruit Food
{
    get {return this.food;}
    set
    {
        this.food= val         


        

Answer 1

You need a bindingsource object to act as an intermediary and assist in the binding. Then instead of updating the user interface, update the underlining model.

var model = (Fruit) bindingSource1.DataSource;

model.FruitType = "oranges";

bindingSource.ResetBindings();
