Examples

The following code example demonstrates the how to implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface. When you run this example, you will notice the bound DataGridView control reflects the change in the data source without requiring the binding to be reset.

If you use the CallerMemberName attribute, calls to the NotifyPropertyChanged method don't have to specify the property name as a string argument. For more information, see Caller Information.

Replace the code in your Form1 with the following code and then change the namespace to the name of your project. As an alternative, you can name your project with the namespace name below when you create it.

using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;  
using System.ComponentModel;

// Either change the following namespace to the name of your project,   
// or name your project with the following name when you create it.  
namespace TestNotifyPropertyChangedCS  
{  
    // This form demonstrates using a BindingSource to bind  
    // a list to a DataGridView control. The list does not  
    // raise change notifications. However the DemoCustomer type   
    // in the list does.  
    public partial class Form1 : Form  
    {  
        // This button causes the value of a list element to be changed.  
        private Button changeItemBtn = new Button();  

        // This DataGridView control displays the contents of the list.  
        private DataGridView customersDataGridView = new DataGridView();  

        // This BindingSource binds the list to the DataGridView control.  
        private BindingSource customersBindingSource = new BindingSource();

Remarks

The INotifyPropertyChanged interface is used to notify clients, typically binding clients, that a property value has changed.

For example, consider a Person object with a property called FirstName. To provide generic property-change notification, the Person type implements the INotifyPropertyChanged interface and raises a PropertyChanged event when FirstName is changed.

For change notification to occur in a binding between a bound client and a data source, your bound type should either:

  • Implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface (preferred).

  • Provide a change event for each property of the bound type.

Do not do both.

Events

PropertyChanged

Occurs when a property value changes.
