My session for Delhi .Net User Group

July session of Delhi .Net UG
 
I did  session on advanced data binding in the Windows Forms. Basically i talked about how to setup two-way databinding in Windows Forms, implementing custom collection classes which implement IBindingList. Also i talked about implementations of  IDataErrorInfo, IEditableObject etc. The session was well liked by everyone (I think :) ). Here is the source code for the demo.
 
One thing i realized while making the presentation for this demo was that Data Binding is basically an implementation of the MVC architecture for .Net basically the framework is provding the interface for the controller part of the MVC architecture, the model is our object and the views are the forms.
 
It was my first talk at a UG meeting and i really enjoyed it. I met the manager of our group Saurabh Verma(an MVP) again, it was Saurabh who had invited me to give the talk. Also i met a lot of core group members of our user group. It was nice to meet so many fellow developers. Being an independednt softwae developer i don't get to meet many of them. :) Looking forward to giving a presentation this month also.
