C#: data-binding objects such as DataGrid

Question

C#: if you bind a DataGrid object to a List object and set the columns to show properties of List's objects, will the DataGrid update when the data-object does?

Is it advisable to data-bind DataGrids? Isn't it better for the programmer to control this process themselves?

Answer 1

No, DataGrid will not update when the data-object does. If you want such behavior you need to implement IBindingList or use BindingList class (or DataTable).
