BindingSource
is the only way without going for a 3rd party ORM, it may seem long winded at first but the benefits of one update method on the BindingSource
are so helpful.
If your source is say for example a list of user strings
List<string> users = GetUsers();
BindingSource source = new BindingSource();
source.DataSource = users;
dataGridView1.DataSource = source;
then when your done editing just update your data object whether that be a DataTable
or List of user strings like here and ResetBindings
on the BindingSource
;
users = GetUsers(); //Update your data object
source.ResetBindings(false);
