Hi,

>Sorry to be so slow in replying ... I've been real busy.

No worries. I know the feeling - I'm struggling to scrounge a few days off before summer ends...

>Looks like what you've posted works, so maybe I was wrong. Since BindingSource is new to 2.0, I've not used it much yet ... I'm still using most of what I had already written in 1.1 with very little in the way of upgrading existing code to take advantage of new 2.0 features ... if we found a way to make something work in 1.1, why change it? <g>

I didn't do much with data bindings in 1.1 but it seems that this was an area where 2.0 made a few useful improvements.

>Of course, I'm not sure how this applies to John's original question about his DateTime control (other than him asking if you could bind two controls together).

I figured he could just bind each control to the next one up the hierarchy and the binding source would do the job instead of custom events. It would also allow John to use the Binding.Parse and .Format events to convert the data between controls if that were neccessary.

Viv

>>Am I missing something. I thought you could use any object as a data source. Doesn't this, given for example two textboxes, bind their Text properties together.
