I was reading Rocky’s post about a work around for a binding issue in VS 2005.  The problem is the field being changed doesn’t get updated in the display.    The work around is good, but seems like too much work, so I wrote a component that extends the BindingSource components –> CornStarch  .  As the name implies it helps the binding glue

Usage:  build this component//add it to your project then drag and drop it onto the form in question.  Next select each BindingSource component and set the ReadValuesOnchange extension property to True to apply the fix, or False if you don’t want the fix.

Option Strict On
