data binding update when value changes, not when tabbing out

Question

Is there a property or setting to force a bound control in Winforms to update the object it is bound to when the input value, either in a textbox or whatever, actually changes?

And not after the control is tabbed out of.

Answer 1

Assuming you have already bound the textbox to something:

• Select the textbox in the designer
• Click property "databindings"
• Click property "advanced"
• In this dialog look for the "datasource update mode"
• Select onpropery changed instead of onvalidate

Now the datasource gets updated on every change of the text property of the textbox.
