Customer comments on this selection. Great for Data Binding to Object Models I'm not sure where that other reviewer got the idea that this book is only for data binding to datasets.One of the best chapters in the book has fifty pages on how to prepare an object model for data-binding, and the rest of the book gives pretty much equal time to binding to objects and to data sets. The object model chapter assumes that an application's domain model will contain the artifacts necessary for data binding. DDD practitioners will consider that to be bad practice, but the principles and procedures taught are easily applied to transport objects used in the UI. So, regardless of one's preferred style of OOP, the book provides good coverage. Having just used the book in building a DDD app with full data binding, I can recommend it without reservation. Excellent ! If you want to build data driven apps, you have to read this book Hanvind books like this one allow people to stay in touch with the internals. Data Binding is a concept that not everyone explains in such details. Great Book This book had exactly what I needed in it, how to create custom objects that are plugable into user interface controls (like data grids) and have all the event wiring etc. to make them look and act like the do with datasets. This includes sorting, etc. Excellent book from a great author. Truly understanding the datagridview Brian Noyes studied the grid thoroughly and has written a readable book which guide you in understanding the datagridview step by step. For me it is however pretty hard to understand the code Brian supplies in C#. In my opinion VB is better suited for learning purposes especially. Sometimes Brian uses tough coding which I can't grasp. 5 Stars from a DotNet Expert... . Actually, I am only an expert at buying books about C# and DotNet, but an expert none-the-less. After seeing the author's data-binding demo on dnrtv, I came here and read the reviews about this book - the reviews couldn't have been more accurate! With only two years of C# programming under my belt, I have found that chapters 7 (Understanding Data-Binding Interfaces) and 9 (Implementing Custom Data-Bound Business Objects and Collections) are alone worth the price of this book. This book is extremely well written and easy to follow. Not really a "How To", but more of a "How To Understand How To" data-binding book IMHO.
