How to: Raise Change Notifications Using the BindingSource ResetItem Method

Some data sources for your controls do not raise change notifications when items are changed, added, or deleted. With the BindingSource component, you can bind to such data sources and raise a change notification from your code.

Example

This form demonstrates using a BindingSource component to bind a list to a DataGridView control. The list does not raise change notifications, so the ResetItem method on the BindingSource is called when an item in the list is changed. .
