Rererences

Forum threads

• DataBound TextBox, bound via BindingSource to DataTable field, requires BindingSource.EndEdit() for datasource to update.

Other references

• MSDN Windows Forms BindingSource documenation
• Calling BindingSource.EndEdit() is important when datasource is being updated
  • Calling EndEdit() can fix problems within a databound combobox serving as a detail info databound to same binding source as a DataGridView. Selecting different value for the combobox does not escalate up to the grid unless selecting another record in the grid. Putting BindingSource.EndEdit() into SelectedValueChanged event of combo is the solution in that case.
• TextBox databound to a DataTable field via a BindingSource requires a call to EndEdit() call before datasource is updated - see here and here.
