Method and system for binding data in a computer system

摘要

An improved method and system for binding data is provided. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, bound controls transfer data to cursors through a binding manager. The binding manager is also responsible for transferring data from a cursor to a bound control. In addition, a preferred embodiment of the present invention provides for a notification mechanism as part of the cursor. The notification mechanism of the cursor of the preferred embodiment provides synchronization amongst all binding managers utilizing the cursor. The notification mechanism of the preferred embodiment provides synchronization amongst all binding managers by invoking event handlers registered by the binding managers. The event handlers are invoked by the cursor both before and after an operation is performed by the cursor.
