INotifyPropertyChanged on nested objects

2011-05-02 Thread Greg Keogh
Folks, in dialog-like screens with OK/Cancel buttons and a bound data object I like to implement and listen to INotifyPropertyChanged on the data object so I know the screen is dirty and I enable the OK button. When the data bound object is composed from a nest of other objects, it becomes

How much do you dislike reflection? The attached is a quick LINQPad mockup of a technique I have used in the past. A real implementation would need to be more careful (there is no error handling, no real collection support and circular references will result in stack overflows) but the basics are

DataGridView OleDB connection to Access MDB - virtual mode

2011-05-02 Thread Ian Thomas
I have been struggling with getting a modest amount of data from an Access MDB into a DataGridView quickly. (WinForms) With a bound DGV the loading and formatting of the DGV takes 60+ seconds. With a virtual mode DGV with the MSDN caching example (just9in-time), I can get it working perfectly

Hi Ian, just fumbling here, but I've had shocking performance problems loading DataGridView when any of the columns have size all cells to contents (I forget the exact name) and there are many thousands of rows. You can feel the poor thing groan as it loads all the rows and then freezes as it

Hi Greg I just tried changing all those again, and it doesn't seem to improve (in fact, I often get ContextSwitchDeadlock errors when debugging, and 55 to 65 seconds to display after I click Continue). From what you write, the DGV is a pig of a control anyway? My 'other' error - the OleDB one -
