kentcb — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 16:11:56 GMT

Updated Release: Truss V1.0.0.0 (Jun 20, 2009)

kentcb — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 09:50:10 GMT

Support for single source and multi-source bindings
String and lambda-based bindings. The latter ensures bindings are checked for correctness at compile-time
Bindings are weak, and will not prevent garbage collection of the target or source objects
Implicit and explicit conversion of data during binding operations
Support for SynchronizationContext so that changes in properties can be automatically marshaled to the correct thread
Support for types that implement ICustomTypeDescriptor

- support for DependencyObjects - documentation enhancements

Updated Wiki: Roadmap

kentcb — Sun, 02 Aug 2009 09:54:04 GMT

V1.1.0.0

Support for XxxChanged change notifications and investigate using Truss to do clean MVVM in Winforms
Support for binding to DependencyObjects
Fluent interface

V?

Support for collections (INotifyCollectionChanged and perhaps IBindingList)
Support for indexers in property paths
Action bindings (perform an action when the target property changes)
Debug visualizers
Easier conversion support using delegates or something
Investigate using compiled lambda expressions more aggresively in the TypedXxx binding classes. Do performance tests first, but it may be possible to use compiled expressions to both get and set the underlying properties, thereby improving performance significantly

New Post: Triggering an action from a binding

cameronm — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 09:54:40 GMT

Ah, I was thinking about it the other way around. The source was the object being watched, and the target was the action.

New Post: Triggering an action from a binding

kentcb — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 08:20:53 GMT

There is a target: it's the property you're watching. There is no source, at least, not a property-based source. The "source" in this case is the action.

That's going to be the biggest challenge to incorporating this into Truss: the terminology. Some things may not quite fit (BindingBase.Mode comes to mind), so may require refactoring or further thought.

Best,
Kent

New Post: Triggering an action from a binding

cameronm — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 23:55:35 GMT

That's exactly what I did, just instead of calling it PropertyWatcher I called it ActionBinding.

It just felt a bit dirty triggering the action in a method for "setting" the target objects value. Especially when there is no target.
