Databinding support?

Hi
This framework rocks :) thank you guys.
I want to know if databinding for windows forms is supported with sorting and filtering support.
thanks

Hi,

I haven't worked much with windows forms apps, but I have worked with ASP.NET quite a bit. Throughout our app we bind to a DataGrid a list of objects or a DataSet that has been returned by DomainObjects. The code typically looks like:

DataSet results = QueryFacade.FindDataSet<SearchType>(criteria);

dataGrid.DataSource = results;

dataGrid.DataBind();

You can then use the built in features of the DataGrid for sorting, paging, etc.

Hope this helps,

Richard

Thanks for your reply.
I have another question:
In the features page it is said that the queries are made againest the objects not the database,Because of that i have to load the entire database in memory to make queries using domainobjects query language and i think that is not effecient,Right?Correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks

Hi Kariem:
The feactures page tries to explain that you don´t have to write "sql queries" to get any set of data. Using the object model domain objects will build the "sql query" for you.

Very good,Thanks again.
BTW there is "BindingListView" it is a small component that wraps your object List<> with a sortable,filterable,searchable List and this list is bindind with the datagridview.
