Bonnie,

In the class definition:

public string formProperty;
public string FormProperty
   {
      get { return formProperty; }
      set { formProperty = value; }
   }

In the forms constructor:

InitializeComponent();
FormProperty = "hello world";
txtBoundFormProperty.DataBindings.Add("Text" , this,
		FormProperty);

Getting an exception: Cannot bind to property or column hello world on DataSource.
Parameter name: dataMember. I've also tried to issue formProperty as the last parameter to DataBindings.Add(). Tried to make formProperty private, same result.

Thanks,
steve


>Yep, you can bind to a property ... but make sure it's a public *property* (with a get/set) and not simply a field (public or otherwise).
