Bonnie,
I'm on a different form, and I can't get a property bound to a textBox. I'm losing my marbles! :)

label2 shows "Yowza!!!" when I run the program, so the binding is working to some degree. But when button2_Click() changes the form property, the textBox does not update.

Can you take a quick look?

private string _formHeight;

public string FormHeight
{
   get { return _formHeight; }
   set { _formHeight = value; }
}

public Form1()
{
   InitializeComponent();
   this.FormHeight = "Yowza!!!";
   label2.DataBindings.Add( new Binding("Text", 
            		this, "FormHeight"));
		
}

private void button2_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   this.FormHeight = "what you gonna do?";
   MessageBox.Show(this.FormHeight);    // shows "what you gonna do?"
}

>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).
