[SOLVED] Questions about porting Windows Forms to Wisej

Since Wisej controls extend Windows Forms controls, the namespace System.Windows.Forms is about always present. So one must use a generous amount of type aliasing. Furthermore there are two relevant Wisej namespaces Wisej.Web and Wisej.Data.

I presume we must use Wisej types over Windows Forms equivalents. I have a using section that goes like this

Snippet

using Wisej.Web;
using Binding = Wisej.Data.Binding;
using BindingCompleteContext = Wisej.Data.BindingCompleteContext;
using BindingCompleteState = Wisej.Data.BindingCompleteState;
using BindingSource = Wisej.Data.BindingSource;
 
using Component = Wisej.Web.Component;
 
using BindingCompleteEventArgs = System.Windows.Forms.BindingCompleteEventArgs;
using BindingsCollection = System.Windows.Forms.BindingsCollection;
using ICurrencyManagerProvider = System.Windows.Forms.ICurrencyManagerProvider;

Pretty strange…

And I found some problems. One of them is due to the fact that System.Windows.Forms.BindingCompleteEventArgs has no equivalent on Wisej.Data. As the event handler needs to use the event arguments, I must cast each one to the equivalent Wisej.Data type.

After all that, I’m not even sure whether it will work. You got the picture: inferno.

I attach the first version and the final version.

P. S. – This component BindingSourceRefresh addresses a binding issue introduced in .NET 2.0 that Microsoft never solved. I’ll make a specific post about the later issue.
