ModelViewBinder aims to support a simple two way binding definition.

*(For Windows Forms see the section bellow)

To install from Nuget

Install-Package ModelViewBinder 

• ModelViewBinder:

  • Contains the base binder tool

• ModelViewBinder.Forms:

  • Contains a implementation for winforms

var binder = new ModelViewBinder<SourceType>(source);

Diposing of a binder removes all bindings and disposes of all subcriptions created by the binder.

binder.Dispose();

This can be used to tie the lifetime of other objects to the binder's lifetime.

binder.RegisterDispose(disposable);

 binder.Bind(src => src.A, target, tgt => tgt.X);

 binder
    .Bind(src => src.A, target, tgt => tgt.X)
    .Bind(src => src.B, target, tgt => tgt.Y)
 ;

 binder.Bind(src => src.A, target, tgt => tgt.X, Convert.ToString);

 binder.Bind(src => src.A, target, tgt => tgt.X, Convert.ToString, int.Parse);

 binder.FillSource();

 binder.FillTargets();

You have to implement the ITargetWithChangeEvent interface and fire the ValueChanged event

If are you working with some type of control, you can implement ITargetWithValue<type> or ITargetWithValue, it has a Value property which is automatically recognized by the binder

   binder.Bind(src => src.A, target);

If are you working with some type of control, you can implement ITargetWithEnabled, it has a Enabled property, commonly used in UI controls, if you want to set this property of all binded targets you can use:

For disable

   binder.DisableAll();

For enable

   binder.EnableAll();

   binder.Bind(src => src.A, target, tgt => tgt.X).Then(() => /* ... */);

If do you want to inject the ModelViewBinder<SourceType> as a dependency you can use IModelViewBinder<SourceType> interface.

To install from Nuget

Install-Package ModelViewBinder.Forms

For window form you should use FormModelViewBinder<SourceType>

    var source = new Source();
    var binder = new FormModelViewBinder<Source>(source);
    
    binder
       .Bind(src => src.ValueForTextbox, textBox1, tgt => tgt.Text)
       .Bind(src => src.ValueForRichText, richTextBox1, tgt => tgt.Text)
       .Bind(src => src.ValueForComboBox, comboBox1, tgt => tgt.SelectedValue)
       .Bind(src => src.ValueForUpDown, numericUpDown1, tgt => tgt.Value)
       .Bind(src => src.ValueForDatePicker, dateTimePicker1, tgt => tgt.Value)
       .Bind(src => src.ValueForCheckBox, checkBox1, tgt => tgt.Checked)
    ;
    
    binder.FillTargets();

The FormModelViewBinder automatically will bind the change events of the forms controls fot update de view model. if you dont want this behavior you can disable:

   binder.AutoFillSourceWhenTargetChanges = false;

For targets derivated of Windows.Form.Control, you dont need to implement ITargetWithEnabled, the methods EnableAll and DisableAll will recognize the Control and change properly the Enabled property
